Usage notes
This is used to specify a data dictionary or schema that defines fields or column headings in the dataset. If this is a machine readable file, it’s recommended to be specified with describedBy at the distribution level along with the associated describedByType. At the dataset level it’s assumed to be a human readable HTML webpage or PDF document. Documentation that is not specifically a data dictionary belongs in “references”
