Description

@mgoodhand

Example 8 in section 6 of "Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web" shows a tableSchema pointing to a CSV file:

{
  "tableSchema": "government-spending.csv",
  "tables": [{
    "url": "http://example.org/east-sussex-2015-03.csv",
  }, {
    "url": "http://example.org/east-sussex-2015-02.csv"
  }, ...
  ]
}

Is this intentional?

From my reading of "Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Data" section 5.3.2, I'd expect either an embedded JSON object or a string referring to a JSON file:

An object property that provides a single schema description as described in section 5.5 Schemas, used as the default for all the tables in the group. This may be provided as an embedded object within the JSON metadata or as a URL reference to a separate JSON object that is a schema description.
