Frans, I think you may be interested in the W3C RDF Data Cube
vocabulary: http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/
Thanks John. I am already trying to use the Data Cube vocabulary.
Although I am not a statistician I think it is a great vocabulary,
enabling the processing of data sets without any prior knowledge of
structure or content. But I just couldn't find a way to clearly publish
a percentage.

"Abstract: There are many situations where it would be useful to be
able to publish multi-dimensional data, such as statistics, on the web
in such a way that it can be linked to related data sets and concepts.
The Data Cube vocabulary provides a means to do this using the W3C RDF
(Resource Description Framework) standard. The model underpinning the
Data Cube vocabulary is compatible with the cube model that underlies
SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange), an ISO standard for
exchanging and sharing statistical data and metadata among
organizations. The Data Cube vocabulary is a core foundation which
supports extension vocabularies to enable publication of other aspects
of statistical data flows or other multi-dimensional data sets..."

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.
Regards,
