-	<!--OddPage--><h2><span class="secno">3. </span>Use cases</h2>
-	<p>
-		This section presents scenarios that would be enabled by the existence
-		of a standard vocabulary for the representation of statistics as
-		Linked Data. Since a draft of the specification of the cube vocabulary
-		has been published, and the vocabulary already is in use, we will call
-		this standard vocabulary after its current name RDF Data Cube
-		vocabulary (short <a href="#ref-QB">[QB]</a>) throughout the document.
-	</p>
-	<p>We distinguish between use cases of publishing statistical data,
-		and use cases of consuming statistical data since requirements for
-		publishers and consumers of statistical data differ.</p>
-	<section id="publishing-statistical-data">
-	<h3><span class="secno">3.1 </span>Publishing statistical data</h3>
-
-	<section id="publishing-general-statistics-in-a-machine-readable-and-application-independent-way-uc-1">
-	<h4><span class="secno">3.1.1 </span>Publishing general statistics in a machine-readable and
-		application-independent way (UC 1)</h4>
-	<p>More and more organizations want to publish statistics on the
-		web, for reasons such as increasing transparency and trust. Although
-		in the ideal case, published data can be understood by both humans and
-		machines, data often is simply published as CSV, PDF, XSL etc.,
-		lacking elaborate metadata, which makes free usage and analysis
-		difficult.</p>
-
-	<p>The goal in this use case is to use a machine-readable and
-		application-independent description of common statistics with use of
-		open standards. The use case is fulfilled if QB will be a Linked Data
-		vocabulary for encoding statistical data that has a hypercube
-		structure and as such can describe common statistics in a
-		machine-readable and application-independent way.</p>
-
-	<p>
-		An example scenario of this use case has been to publish the Combined
-		Online Information System (<a href="http://data.gov.uk/resources/coins">COINS</a>). There, HM
-		Treasury, the principal custodian of financial data for the UK
-		government, released previously restricted information from its
-		Combined Online Information System (COINS). Five data files were
-		released containing between 3.3 and 4.9 million rows of data. The
-		COINS dataset was translated into RDF for two reasons:
-	</p>
-
-	<ol>
-		<li>To publish statistics (e.g., as data files) are too large to
-			load into widely available analysis tools such as Microsoft Excel, a
-			common tool-of-choice for many data investigators.</li>

-	</ol>
-	<p>Publishing statistics is challenging for the several reasons:</p>
-	<p>
-		Representing observations and measurements requires more complex
-		modeling as discussed by Martin Fowler <a href="#Fowler1997">[Fowler,
-			1997]</a>: Recording a statistic simply as an attribute to an object
-		(e.g., a the fact that a person weighs 185 pounds) fails with
-		representing important concepts such as quantity, measurement, and
-		observation.
-	</p>
-
-	<p>Quantity comprises necessary information to interpret the value,
-		e.g., the unit and arithmetical and comparative operations; humans and
-		machines can appropriately visualize such quantities or have
-		conversions between different quantities.</p>
-
-	<p>A Measurement separates a quantity from the actual event at
-		which it was collected; a measurement assigns a quantity to a specific
-		phenomenon type (e.g., strength). Also, a measurement can record
-		metadata such as who did the measurement (person), and when was it
-		done (time).</p>
-
-	<p>Observations, eventually, abstract from measurements only
-		recording numeric quantities. An Observation can also assign a
-		category observation (e.g., blood group A) to an observation. Figure
-		demonstrates this relationship.</p>
-	<p>

-		<div>Modeling quantity, measurement, observation</div>
-	</div>
-	
-	<p></p>
-
-	<p>QB deploys the multidimensional model (made of observations with
-		Measures depending on Dimensions and Dimension Members, and further
-		contextualized by Attributes) and should cater for these complexity in
-		modelling.</p>
-	<p>Another challenge is that for brevity reasons and to avoid
-		repetition, it is useful to have abbreviation mechanisms such as
-		assigning overall valid properties of observations at the dataset or
-		slice level, and become implicitly part of each observation. For
-		instance, in the case of COINS, all of the values are in thousands of
-		pounds sterling. However, one of the use cases for the linked data
-		version of COINS is to allow others to link to individual
-		observations, which suggests that these observations should be
-		standalone and self-contained – and should therefore have explicit
-		multipliers and units on each observation. One suggestion is to author
-		data without the duplication, but have the data publication tools
-		"flatten" the compact representation into standalone observations
-		during the publication process.</p>
-	<p>A further challenge is related to slices of data. Slices of data
-		group observations that are of special interest, e.g., slices
-		unemployment rates per year of a specific gender are suitable for
-		direct visualization in a line diagram. However, depending on the
-		number of Dimensions, the number of possible slices can become large
-		which makes it difficult to select all interesting slices. Therefore,
-		and because of their additional complexity, not many publishers create
-		slices. In fact, it is somewhat unclear at this point which slices
-		through the data will be useful to (COINS-RDF) users.</p>

-	<p>What is the best way (in the context of the RDF/Data Cube/SDMX
-		approach) to express that the values for the England/Scotland/Wales/
-		Northern Ireland ought to add up to the value for the UK and
-		constitute a more detailed breakdown of the overall UK figure? I might
-		also have population figures for France, Germany, EU27, etc...so it's
-		not as simple as just taking a qb:Slice where you fix the time period
-		and the measure.</p>
-	<p>Some of this requirement is met by the work on ISO Extension to
-		SKOS [19].</p>

-	<p>The formal RDF Data Cube vocabulary expresses few formal
-		semantic constraints. Furthermore, in RDF then omission of
-		otherwise-expected properties on resources does not lead to any formal
-		inconsistencies. However, to build reliable software to process Data
-		Cubes then data consumers need to know what assumptions they can make
-		about a dataset purporting to be a Data Cube.</p>
-	<p>What *well-formedness* criteria should Data Cube publishers
-		conform to? Specific areas which may need explicit clarification in
-		the well-formedness criteria include (but may not be limited to):</p>
-	<ul>
-		<li>use of abbreviated data layout based on attachment levels</li>
-		<li>use of qb:Slice when (completeness, requirements for an
-			explicit qb:SliceKey?)</li>
-		<li>avoiding mixing two approaches to handling multiple-measures
