Scale Vocab.[edit]
There appears to be a need for a vocab. that allows a spec. for the publication and consumption of a discretised view of data.
Sometimes the data will be aggregated to do this (geo or temporal, for example), and sometimes already at the same scale (URI equivalence for example).
Output[edit]
- Scale vocabulary (graph visualization)
- Nearness vocabulary (graph visualization)

Comments[edit]
It may be useful to include a request for the null result, for engineering reasons - who knows?
The things like "one" and "nearest" are slightly different from the others, but clearly useful.
