Absolutely true.
meta-columns
ordinal
- the order in which the columns have been written to the file. In cases where there is no header row, or where columns are re-ordered, this can be helpful.meta-tables
has-column-names
- a true/false
value indicating if the file has a header row containing column names.skip-rows
- How many rows need to be skipped, before the data begins? (Rarely need to specify this, but when you need it, you need it!)Keep the ideas coming @MarkPflug
With columns headers being optional in the 4180 spec, it might also be useful to specify/require the column ordinal in the meta-columns file. This would allow attaching headers to a csv via the column metadata.
For that matter, in the tables metadata would be useful to include a "HasHeaders" boolean column.
