ISSUE-29: Criteria for well-formedness

Well-formedness

Criteria for well-formedness

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Data Cube Vocabulary
Raised by:
Dave Reynolds
Opened on:
2012-02-17
Description:
The formal RDF Data Cube vocabulary expresses few formal semantic constraints. Furthermore, in RDF then omission of otherwise-expected properties on resources does not lead to any formal inconsistencies.

However, to build reliable software to process Data Cubes then data consumers need to know what assumptions they can make about a dataset purporting to be a Data Cube.

What *well-formedness* criteria should Data Cube publishers conform to?

Specific areas which may need explicit clarification in the well-formedness criteria include (but may not be limited to):

* use of abbreviated data layout based on attachment levels
* use of qb:Slice (completeness, requirements for an explicit qb:SliceKey?)
* avoiding mixing two approaches to handling multiple-measures
* optional declarations including:
- type triples
- should every ComponentProperty in the DSD have an qb:order
- should every ComponentProperty have an explicit attachment level
- must all CodedProperties (and thus Dimensions) have an an associated skos:ConceptScheme
- can a Dimension have range xsd:* for some xsd type (IMHO "yes", an rdfs:Datatype is just another rdfs:Class)

This has been addressed with section 13 of the revised specification. It has been marked as at risk and should be subject to extra scrutiny during the last call review process
