@smrgeoinfo asked: > Isn't a dcat catalog just one more variety of registry? Not quite. The way it is modelled the `dcat:Catalog` is essentially just the _contents_ - a list of catalogued resources. It is a subclass of `dcat:Dataset`. Some governance and lifecycle factors are supported by the `dcat:Records` that are optionally included, but I would argue that a lot more is needed to make a registry. Note also in Figure 1 that `dcat:DiscoveryService` is related to contents that it exposes by the value of its `dcat:servesDataset` property - this was one of the reasons for the subclass relationship between dcat:Catalog and dcat:Dataset. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dr-shorthair Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/411#issuecomment-439200478 using your GitHub account
