Re: [dataspace-protocol-base-dev] Distribution entity : Possible data mo

[Jim Marino <jim.marino@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please review the DCAT 3 Specification. Catalog is a Dataset subtype, which has a “distribution” property.

Dear all,

At https://eclipse-dataspace-protocol-base.github.io/DataspaceProtocol/2025-1/#lower-level-types 

Part I: 

Catalog object type is said to have a member named `distribution` with a list of `Distribution`. However the W3C DCATv3 doesn't, although it has a dcat:resource that only mentions `catalog`, `service` and `dataset` as possible sub-properties.  

On the other hand a Distribution might not have a life without a dataset ... so ... 

Part II:

Dataset object type mentions `distribution` as one of its members but then nothing is said about the type. It should say required array[Distribution]. 

Please let me know your feedback

All the best
