Data Sets

A collection of datums of a given data type is called a data set. A numeric data set (like a numeric spreadsheet column) can have statistical calculations performed on it by using an RDF query language like SPARQL. The member of relation can connect datum or value specification instances to such a data set.

James Overton offers a detailed tutorial in how to convert a spreadsheet to an ontology-driven triple store graph. He provides a script for mapping spreadsheet cell contents to ontology equivalent terms, assuming you have set up a sufficient ontology to steer the conversion. As well, the next step is to convert this to a triple store graph.
