In the context of the DCAT-US profile, a metadata entry of this class serves to characterize a distribution - of - data, which constitutes a specific representation of a Dataset. Datasets within this profile may offer - multiple - serializations, each potentially differing in various aspects, including natural language, media type or - format, - schematic organization, temporal and spatial resolution, level of detail, or profiles that specify any - combination of these attributes.
- -A distribution may encompass the entirety of the Dataset's data or only a subset thereof. For example, it - could - encompass all data related to the population in the United States or focus exclusively on a specific year, - such - as 2020. Alternatively, it might provide the data in an alternate format, such as a graphical representation - covering the years 2010 through 2020.
- -Within the DCAT-US profile, various relationships between Datasets and their distributions are represented. - The - most straightforward relationship involves aggregating different physical representations of data, referred to - as "Distributions," into a single Dataset. An example of such a Dataset is a time series, where each - distribution corresponds to one year of data, and the Dataset spans multiple years.
- - -In the DCAT vocabulary, dcat:Distribution
is employed to characterize the diverse
- representations
- and formats in which a dataset is disseminated, facilitating the description of different versions or media
- types of the same data, and often includes properties like dcat:downloadURL
for direct download
- links. On the other hand, dcat:DataService
serves the purpose of detailing data access services,
- such as APIs and endpoints, enabling programmatic or interactive data retrieval, with key properties like
- dcat:endpointURL
specifying service endpoints and dcat:serviceType
indicating the
- type
- of service, thus distinguishing between the description of data formats and the specification of data access
- services within the DCAT framework.

Definition | -More information about the format in which a Distribution is released. This is different from the - file format as, for example, a XML file (file format) could contain an XML schema (representation - technique). - | -
Usage note | -
- adms:representationTechnique
- in DCAT-US metadata plays a crucial role in detailing the specific schema, standard, or method used
- to
- structure data within a dataset, like specifying RFC 4180 for CSV, GeoJSON for JSON, OWL for RDF, or
- XML Schema for XML. This contrasts with dcterms:format, which
- broadly identifies the file format (e.g., CSV, JSON, RDF, XML), providing a general idea of the
- data's
- structure and syntax. Meanwhile, dcterms:mediaType
- complements
- these by
- defining the MIME type, such as 'text/csv' or 'application/json', crucial for software processing
- and
- data transmission. The detailed insight provided by adms:representationTechnique
- is
- indispensable for users needing comprehensive knowledge about the dataset's internal organization
- and
- interpretation, which goes beyond the basic format or MIME type indicated by dcterms:format and
- dcterms:mediaType.

Rationale: | -The introduction of dcterms:PeriodOfTime

- parsing and indexing of time intervals. By adopting dcterms:PeriodOfTime , DCAT-US 3.0 promotes
- ease

- time-related data, ultimately benefiting data usability and exchange.

RDF Class: | +org:Organization

+
---|---|
Definition: | +Represents a collection of people organized together into a community or other social, commercial or + political structure. The group has some common purpose or reason for existence which goes beyond the set + of + people belonging to it and can act as an Agent. Organizations are often decomposable into hierarchical + structures. | +
Subclass Of: | +foaf:Agent |
+
Usage note | +
+ When utilizing the org:Organization
+ class
+ in DCAT-US 3.0, data publishers are encouraged to provide the preferred label (skos:prefLabel ) for the organization, along with
+ any
+ relevant alternative labels (skos:altLabel ) and
+ abbreviations skos:notation . This usage is
+ consistent with the W3C Organization Recommendation standard [[VOCAB-ORG]].This practice ensures
+ comprehensive and flexible organization identification, improving data discoverability and search
+ accuracy. Data publishers should strive to maintain consistency in naming conventions while considering
+ variations and common aliases used to refer to organizations. By providing a well-rounded representation
+ of organizations, DCAT-US 3.0 enhances data usability and transparency, facilitating efficient data search
+ and retrieval. |
+
Rationale: | +Improving the org:Organization class
+ in
+ DCAT-US 3.0 by supporting prefLabel, alternative labels, and abbreviations is essential to enhance
+ organization representation. This enhancement accommodates variations in organization naming, promotes
+ data
+ interoperability, and improves discoverability within datasets. By incorporating these features, DCAT-US
+ 3.0
+ aligns with best practices in data representation, enhances data search and transparency, and optimizes
+ the
+ overall usability of data resources.

RDF Class: | +dcterms:PeriodOfTime |
+
---|---|
Definition: | +PeriodOfTime represents a period of time with a start date and an end. | +
Usage note | +
+ The start and end of the interval SHOULD be given by using properties dcat:startDate , and dcat:endDate , respectively. The
+ interval
+ can also be open - i.e., it can have just a start or just an end.
+ |
+
Rationale: | +The introduction of dcterms:PeriodOfTime
+ in
+ DCAT-US 3.0 is pivotal for harmonizing with international
+ standards and rectifying the inconsistency with DCAT 1. In DCAT-US 1.1, [[ISO8601-1]] was used for
+ interval
+ representation in dcterms:temporal , diverging from DCAT 1's requirement of
+ dcterms:PeriodOfTime. This
+ alignment with DCAT 3
+ standards in DCAT-US 3.0 not only resolves discrepancies but also streamlines data processing, simplifying
+ parsing and indexing of time intervals. By adopting dcterms:PeriodOfTime , DCAT-US 3.0 promotes
+ ease
+ of
+ implementation, ensuring uniformity, flexibility, accuracy, and enhanced interoperability in handling
+ time-related data, ultimately benefiting data usability and exchange.

Definition: | +This class represents an individual human being or a person. It can be used to provide information + about individuals, such as their name, email address, homepage URL, and other personal details. | +
Subclass Of: | +foaf:Agent |
+
Usage note | ++ + | +
Rationale: | +The rationale for enhancing the foaf:Person class in DCAT-US 3.0 is to
+ provide a more comprehensive and standardized representation of individuals within datasets. In earlier
+ versions, like DCAT 1.1, only a single "name" property was available for describing persons, limiting the
+ richness of personal data representation. By introducing properties like "firstName," "givenName," and
+ "affiliation," DCAT-US 3.0 aligns with best practices in data representation, allowing data publishers to
+ provide more detailed information about individuals and their affiliations with organizations. This
+ enhancement enhances data usability and transparency.

dcat-us:geographicBoundingBox
property
simplifies the search and discovery process for geospatial data. Instead of relying on complex geometric
representations like polygons, users can specify a bounding box by defining the minimum and maximum values
- of
- latitude and longitude. Filtering geospatial data using a bounding box involves numeric comparisons, where
- the
- latitude and longitude values of data points are compared to the minimum and maximum values of the
- bounding
- box.
- This approach efficiently eliminates data points outside the specified spatial extent by performing simple
- numeric operations. It leverages the inherent numerical properties of latitude and longitude values,
- making
- it
- computationally efficient and compatible with spatial indexing and query optimization techniques. By using
- numeric comparison, geospatial data can be filtered and retrieved faster, optimizing the search process in
- various geospatial applications. This makes it easier for users to define their area of interest and
- retrieve
- relevant datasets that intersect with that spatial extent.
