Type of issue: Schema, Editorial

Section # / Table #: 5.18.2 Distribution's description property

Issue:

• Administrative Comment: The usage note indicates that "The description MUST be provided if the distribution contains only part of the data offered by the Dataset." This is a substantial change from DCAT-US 1.1 and should perhaps be made more obvious.

• Rationale: Highlighting changes from DCAT-US 1.1 that require significant collection of additional information would be helpful.

• Proposed Disposition: Clearer highlighting of change from DCAT-US 1.1.
