Re: [dxwg] Dcat issue53 riccardo (#614)

The new text states: "_The need to clearly distinguish between primary and legacy identifiers for a dataset has been identified as a requirement to be satisfied in the revision of DCAT_". 
I am not entirely in agreement with that.
I would say that, yes, there is a need for such a distinction in particular cases, i.e. in harvesting environments where descriptions are copied among catalogues. This case is mentioned in the last sentence of the section: "_Depending on the application context, specific guidelines such as "DCAT-AP: How to manage duplicates?" can be adopted for distinguishing authoritative datasets from dataset harvested by third parties catalogs_".
In my mind, the notion of primary and secondary (not **_legacy_**, I think) identifiers depends very much on the application environment. This requirement could be satisfied in a profile (as it is done on the EU DCAT-AP) and not in the base standard.
