ANDS Vocab (private alpha)

● ANDS is tasked with sharing research data across the nation (and globe). I can haz tabular data? <-- we've got lots!

● Simple data: tabular Example Tides 1683 Depth: feet, inches, other?

What if...Instead of using human terms (or abbreviations), what if we just copy & pasted a link to what we meant at the header of each column?

http://dbpedia.org/page/Metre

Then machines could read this table as well, and do what they do best... compare!

Iterating towards a solutionSolution:● Lookup API so it is

easy to integrate URIs instead of human terms as the key:value pairs for data?

● API library to house on d/b so ANDS can come along & query?

Problems:● Lots of Academic

vocabs, <lessThan>, <greaterThan> doesn't cover it :(

● Getting human agreement is the tough part.
