In my experience working with distributions in ISO metadata, the distribution section is used to provide various 'affordances' for accessing representations of the data-- e.g. links to dataset landing pages, links that directly download (possibly varying) file representations, links to services providing API access (data distribution services in the DCAT revision), links to ftp directories containing collections of files that may represent parts or versions of the dataset. Assuming dcat:distribution has a similar intention to the ISO19115 MD_Distribution, I'm guessing it has come up before in discussion that perhaps distribution should be defined something like 'Options for accessing representations of the dataset'. I would hope that the dcat:conformsTo property on the distribution would let me know what kind of distribution its is -- GitHub Notification of comment by smrgeoinfo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/431#issuecomment-442594486 using your GitHub account
