Add guides on consuming CSVW #1

Open RickMoynihan opened 3 years ago

RickMoynihan commented 3 years ago

I think we really need to add some guides to demonstrate and motivate stuff on the consumption side to form a complete story. Perhaps COW and CSVLint can currently fulfill this side?

It would be nice for example to add a guide on consuming the grit bins example, and showing the benefits there in R, python, Ruby etc…

Generally I think the biggest bang per buck for CSVW is supporting a consumer side CSVW profile which just adds basic datatype coercion support to the CSV files themselves. I guess you’d need to support URI templates too, so you could have URI as a datatype.

I'm not sure what tooling currently fulfills this usecase; but I think if CSVW is to succeed this is a missing piece.

Longer term it might be worth categorising tools for publication/consumption/validation/transformation etc.

I think we could already write a guide for R, Python and javascript. I haven't checked the tools but there are some that promise this.

I did think about categorising the tools but there's stuff like RDF::Tabular which does everything!
