Cardinality and usage note of `dct:type` in `dcat:Dataset` #360

Closed init-dcat-ap-de closed 2 weeks ago

init-dcat-ap-de commented 3 months ago

dcat:Dataset's property dct:type had a cardinality of 0..* in DCAT-AP 2.1, we discussed it here: https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/issues/153#issuecomment-976399205

In DCAT-AP 3.0 it is back to 0..1. I guess it's a mistake?

Also the usage note says:

A recommended controlled vocabulary data-type is foreseen.

But we have now a recommended vocabulary: grafik

@init-dcat-ap-de This is indeed an unspotted mistake. Probably a mixup with the usage of dct:type of Agent.

The connection with the codelist (and it status) is an interesting remark, as this is one of the open alignments to be made. But for now, a max-cardinality * or n means that one can have multiple values for that property. It does not state it are values from a single or multiple codelists.

That latter interpretation the usage of a single codelist is for the Codelist section to be expressed.
