This property MAY be used to provide more information about the format in which an Distribution is released. This is different from the file format as, for example, a ZIP file (file format) could contain an XML schema (representation technique).
In GeoDCAT-AP, this property SHOULD be used to express the spatial representation type (grid, vector, tin), by using the URIs of the corresponding code list operated by the INSPIRE Registry [INSPIRE-SRT].
However, talking here about a ZIP file (package) containing an XML schema inside seems confusing in the context of DCAT-AP Distribution Packaging Format, which would normally be used (for ZIP) together with media type (for XML schema) for this type of scenario.
Proposal
Reduce the usage note to just the second part:
In GeoDCAT-AP, this property SHOULD be used to express the spatial representation type (grid, vector, tin), by using the URIs of the corresponding code list operated by the INSPIRE Registry [INSPIRE-SRT].
Problem statement The usage note for Representation technique in GeoDCAT-AP 2.0.0 says:
However, talking here about a ZIP file (package) containing an XML schema inside seems confusing in the context of DCAT-AP Distribution Packaging Format, which would normally be used (for ZIP) together with media type (for XML schema) for this type of scenario.
Proposal Reduce the usage note to just the second part:
And propose a change in the definition in ADMS, which currently contains a similar formulation.
