I'm confident that DCAT supports this already. The DCAT definition does not say whether the collection of data is in a single file or multiple files since a dcat:Dataset is an abstract concept that may be accessible by a distribution. dcterms:hasPart and dcterms:isPartOf are probably useful here, and I'd want to use those at the Dataset level, not the distribution level, something like: <readings-2014-11-08T00:00> a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:isPartOf <readings-2014-11-08> . <readings-2014-11-08T06:00> a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:isPartOf <readings-2014-11-08> . <readings-2014-11-08T12:00> a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:isPartOf <readings-2014-11-08> . <readings-2014-11-08T18:00> a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:isPartOf <readings-2014-11-08> . <readings-2014-11-08> a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:hasPart <readings-2014-11-08T00:00>; dcterms:hasPart <readings-2014-11-08T06:00>; dcterms:hasPart <readings-2014-11-08T12:00>; dcterms:hasPart <readings-2014-11-08T18:00>; dcat:distribution <readings-2014-11-08.zip> . <readings-2014-11-08.zip> a dcat:Distribution; dcat:mediaType "application/zip" . The 4 timed readings and the collected readings for the day are all dcat:Datasets, i.e. they are all "A collection of data, published or curated by a single agent, and available for access or download in one or more formats."
