annotation using IAO:data item class #20

Closed kaiiam closed 6 years ago

kaiiam commented 6 years ago

Greeting IAO development team.

I am attempting to annotate some typical earth sciences data files (in a format akin to csv) which include aggregations of various parameters which are represented as columns, and instance of those parameters like measurement datum are represented as rows.

Is the class data item intended to be used for annotation of files I have described, or would I need a new IAO class such as aggregated data item to describe the data which is about multiple measurement datum?

Cheers, Kai

Greeting IAO development team.

We're working on some typical Earth science data files in a CSV/TSV like format. The rows are entities being observed and the columns the variables that describe them.

e.g.

sample nitrate temperature status
1 0.4 3 active
2 0.3 6 dormant
... ... ... ...

We considered using data set, but that seems to require the data be homogeneous. Is there a more permissive class? Can one be created if not?
