Sure we've had RFC4180 but it stops short of defining > many things that allows a consumer to correctly interpret a CSV file. > The [csvw|https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/] is a fairly new standard > from W3C which aims to fix all of this. It defines the format of a (basically > the RFC4180) but in addition defines how metadata for a CSV file should be > conveyed. > The csvw standard is a completed standard. It is not work-in-progress. > Don't be fooled by its name: "CSV on the web" it applies equally so in the > system-to-system space. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
