Dear Lichfield team,

I like the way you publish spending data [4] using the data cube vocabulary
[1].

Unfortunately, I have found some errors how you implement the vocabulary,
which makes it difficult to use the data:

* you use the wrong property, e.g., <qb:dataSet
rdf:resource="http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/dataset.rdf#2010-04-v1" />.
qb:dataset would be the right one.

* you use different dataset uris e.g.,
** http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/dataset#2010-11-v1
** http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/dataset.rdf#2010-11-v1
** it should be only one used

* the datasets in [2] do not state where the actual data can be found. Maybe
it could link to the sparql endpoint or the bulk download.

If you need help to solve such problems you can ask me directly or reach
more people through this mailing list [3] (CC).

Regards,

Benedikt

Hi Benedikt,

Thanks for pointing this out. I've modified the rdf as suggested. The
dataset uri is now http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/download#{year}-{month}-{version},
which should make more sense.

Let me know if there's any problems.

Cheers

Stuart

So is it okay for me to grab: http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/all.rdf ?

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for this.

If one does a lookup on a dataset, e.g. "curl -H "Accept:
application/rdf+xml"
http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/download#2010-12-v1", should one not get
both the dataset definition and the actual data?

Regards,

Benedikt

Please confirm that you've sanity checked the RDF/XML i.e, ensure its
valid.

<qb:dataSet="http://spending.lichfielddc.gov.uk/download#2010-04-v1" />

In there currently.
