Hi Pat, Francois, Petr,

Thanks for your comments and responses. 

Pat, content_type (the first field I looked into) tells you about the format but not about the actual content. At least this is what I understood.
This is why I point to the ”semantics" field and adding a vocabulary without having to add an extra column for that. 

Francois, Associateddata=timeseries-images,… something like that could work. 

Petr, Francois is right in his comment as to what I refer to. 
I thought about the ucd usage of it, perhaps this is something to look into. 

I guess the options/questions are: 
1) add a column for that and add a vocabulary 
2) use the field semantics and have a controlled 

In both cases it points to a vocabulary, and I would vote for 2 in principle since it looks like it would require less effort. 

Cheers,
Ada
