[obs] Fwd: [leaders] FYI: Dataset Publishing Language (from Google Labs)

[Matt Jones]

This note from Bertram points out a new entry into the data annotation field
from Google.  Its interesting, and includes a rehash of standard metadata
descriptions, as well as annotation and classification of variables.
Obviously it closely relates to both metadata standards like EML and the
BDP, and to observational data models like OBOE.

All:

I just came across this Dataset Publishing
Language<http://code.google.com/apis/publicdata/docs/tutorial.html#overview>from
Google labs -- looks interesting indeed

This figure reminded me also of "semantically registering" a dataset /
database to a conceptual model.
E.g. here is some early work on a language for "semantic source
registration"

 *Registering scientific information sources

for *semantic mediation*     [PDF] from

Abstract. In a conventional *information mediation* scenario it is as- sumed
that all *sources*, including
their schemas, are known before the integrated view is defined. We have
found this assumption
to be un- realistic for *scientific information* integration – new relevant
*sources* are *...*

Of course much has happened since then (e.g. see allied projects such a
Semtools etc)
