Definition of Agent type #299

Closed oystein-asnes closed 2 weeks ago

oystein-asnes commented 9 months ago

The current definition of Agent type “A type of the agent that makes the Catalogue or Dataset available.” neglects the fact that an Agent is also used for dct:creator. In addition comes the question raised in #289 whether Dataset Series is a subclass of Resource or Dataset

Proposal: Change to "A type of the agent"

bertvannuffelen commented 8 months ago

The suggestion of the definition makes the definition entirely circular. We will look for a new definition, one which does not rely on the word "type".
