The Risk Data Library Standard (RDLS) is an open data standard to make it easier to work with disaster and climate risk data. It provides a common description of the data used and produced in risk assessments, including hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and modelled loss, or impact, data.
Currently the resource.url field is required and is designed to be a url that takes a user to the resource itself.
However there are instances where such a .url isn't available, e.g.
the data hasn't been published yet
the data is access restricted.
Therefore suggest that we remove resource.url and replace it with 2 optional fields:
access_url - a URL that gives access to the resource, e.g. a webpage through which a user can request access by completing a form.
download_url - The URL of the downloadable file in a given format.
@matamadio @stufraser1 how does this sound? This would help with the issue of commercial products such as Fathom and for internal only resources.
