Subject: sdmx-attribute:coverageTime
Hi,

Is anyone using sdmx-attribute:coverageTime? The SDMX definition says
its free text so we might expect something like "2012-2000" but I
wondering if a time interval might be better

@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix tl: <http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/timeline.owl#>.
@prefix qb: <http://purl.org/linked-data/cube#> .
@prefix sdmx-attribute:  <http://purl.org/linked-data/sdmx/2009/attribute#> .

:eg a qb:Dataset;
  rdfs:label "Dataset with start/end dates for coverage";
  sdmx:attribute:coverageTime :interval.

:interval
        a tl:Interval;
        tl:start "2000"^^xsd:Year;
        tl:end "2012"^^xsd:Year.

Any thoughts?

L.

Agreed that a time interval would be better. There's a few places where
SDMX allows free text but where in Linked Data cases we'd tend to have
structured vocab.

There is also dct:temporal, which does expect a resource, as an alternative.

For the interval itself I might be inclined to use interval:Interval
(Stuart's ontology for the reference time service [1]) which in turn is
a subclass of owltime:DateTimeInterval. Though tl: does look simpler.

+1 to intervals like [1].

In fact, I think it works out quite well, even for different types of
intervals within the same observation. Example:

http://worldbank.270a.info/dataset/world-bank-climates/month-average-...

has an interval that has a coverage (20 year period starting from year
2060) and another interval that states the actual occurring interval
(month of August).
