License element format #93

Closed Faldrian closed 5 years ago

Faldrian commented 7 years ago

Currently the dcat:Distribution has a node formatted like this: <dct:license>http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/</dct:license>

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/150347 states, that licenses should always be noted as URIs and their example puts the URI inside an rdf:resource-atttribute: <dct:license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"/>

Is there a good reason to not change the output to use the rdf:resource-notation if the value for dct:license is an URI? (non-URIs could be written in current format as Literal, in case somebody enters "All rights reserved" or something like that)

The statement on the Joinup page is a bit misleading. The domain of dct:license does not allow literals but only URIs. Therefore MUST, not should.

@Faldrian In my opinion this issue should be resolved by #140 now. Do you agree?

I think so, good work. :)
