nfreire has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/dxwg: == Is one of dcat:accessURL, dcat:accessService and dcat:downloadURL required in a dcat:Distribution? == Hello DXWG, At Europeana, we are designing a profile where we need to use the class dcat:Distribution without using any of the three properties dcat:accessURL, dcat:accessService and dcat:downloadURL. Question: Is this a correct usage of dcat:Distribution? Or one of the three properties should always be stated? We felt unsure after reading the [DCAT 2 latest editor draft](https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/). I believe these are the passages that made us unsure: The dcat:Distribution states in the last paragraph of section 6.7: > Links between a dcat:Distribution and services or Web addresses where it can be accessed are expressed using dcat:accessURL, dcat:accessService, dcat:downloadURL, as shown in Figure 1 and described in the definitions below. In the usage notes for these three properties, it is writen: > dcat:accessService SHOULD be used to link to a description of a dcat:DataService that can provide access to this distribution. > dcat:accessURL SHOULD be used for the URL of a service or location that can provide access to this distribution, typically through a Web form, query or API call. > dcat:downloadURL SHOULD be used for the URL at which this distribution is available directly, Many thanks in advance.
