Re: Thought for URI section

Thanks for this Makx,

I'm aware of the work you're doing in the DCAT-AP update which is 
clearly relevant to this group. I imagine other members of the WG will 
be as interested as I am in what it comes up with.

If it decides it wants to recommend that new terms to be added to DCAT, 
this is the WG that is chartered to do that. As you know, a lot of work 
is going into the quality and usage work which is where any such changes 
would sit.

Perhaps we can have a chat about this when we're in Krems in a few 
weeks' time.

Phil.

I'd like to mention that in work that is being done around the DCAT application profile for data portals in Europe (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/137964/), it has been noted that in DCAT, the W3C recommendation for describing datasets, there is currently no recommended way to describe time series.
