Type of issue: Schema, Editorial

Section # / Table #: 5.18.3 Distribution's conformsTo property

Issue:

Substantive Comment: The usage note says "This property refers to a page or document about this Data Service," which doesn't seem to make sense for this field. We presume that this is a placeholder that was copied/pasted and never replaced with the correct content.
Rationale: Clarity on documenting format metadata would be helpful.
Proposed Disposition: Replacement or clarification of the sentence in question.

Do we want to constraint cardinality to 0..1 (used in DCAT US 1,1) instead of 0..n. Do we have use cases for multiple standards for a single distribution (maybe alternate identifiers for standards)?

ShaferAC commented 7 months ago

+1; It might be beneficial to have the cardinality as 0...n in case there are distribution methods that utilize multiple standards.

mrratcliffe commented 6 months ago

+1 I agree with Allison's comment above... beneficial to have cardinality as 0...n

fellahst commented 6 months ago

Cardinality for dcterms:conformsTo remains to 0..n
