Type of issue: Schema, Editorial

Section # / Table #: 5.18.3 Distribution's representation technique property

Issue:

• Substantive Comment: It's unclear what kinds of values would be entered in this field, given that 'mediaType'/'format' (in combination with 'packageFormat' and 'compressFormat') seem to handle the "packaged/compressed file" situation.

• Rationale: Clarity on documenting format metadata would be helpful.

• Proposed Disposition: Clarification of what values appear in this field.
