RE: reviewing the BP doc

Maybe to summarise a main question in my message of last Friday:

Does DCAT (a) imply that all Distributions of a Dataset contain the same
data points and only differ in format or access method/end point, or does it
(b) allow Distributions of a Dataset to contain data that is similar in
nature (such as annual budgets for different years)?

This was the main question a group that I am involved in was not able to
answer.

		As I said in last week's call, this is related to the more
general issue of relationships between data files.
