Can OIH records be 'metadata only' #34

Open dblear opened 1 month ago

dblear commented 1 month ago

Does an OIH metadata record have to resolve to a dataset? If so, can thar be a portal 'landing page' or a publication (ie PDF) or does it need to be a machine actionable endpoint? (eg OGC API or direct file download)

That seems fine to me, just leave the https://schema.org/distribution property empty.

No, but a schema:Dataset JSON-LD record should point to the data it describes via the distribution property

other types need not point data sets

if it's a landing page or something similar, you can use the url property. But it must point to the dataset and not some document about the dataset (like a paper). One can use the citation property to point to resources that talk about the subject data

Slight tangent, so are the records from MEDIN schema:Dataset ? Because there's many, many on there that don't have any value in the distribution property. Will they be dropped from OIH?

Most are, other Types are fine too

No distribution will not affect their discoverability in ODIS or OIH, but it will make rapid, programmatic download harder.
