Hello,
I would like to publish some statistical data. A few of these numbers
are percentages. What is the best way to make it clear to data consumers
that the numbers are to be treated as percentages? As far as I can tell,
the XSD data types do not suffice.
QUDT does include percent as a unit: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#Percent
Assuming you are using the RDF Data Cube then you can use this as the
value of unit of measure attribute (sdmx-attribute:unitMeasure).
If you are dealing with single measures or measure-dimension cubes that
should be fine.
You are using multi-measure observations then life gets harder. In that
case you might consider encoding your values as e.g. qudt:QuantityValues
and attaching the unit of measure that way.
