Thank you all who provided us with "Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT) - revised edition W3C Editor's Draft 25 June 2018" https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/ I have read through the draft and there are some things that I'd like to have clarified, please. I have depended mainly on Figure 1, so I may have missed things where I haven't fully understood the possibilities and limitations of the vocab in practice. *Services* >From Figure 1 "Overview of DCAT model", it appears that dcat:DiscoveryService inherits from dcat:DataDistributionService, so, a DiscoveryService must also be a DataDistributionService. Does this mean that a single Service endpointURL can be represented as a combined discovery service and data distribution service, or as a data distribution service alone, but not as a discovery service alone? Does this mean that we can't represent where a discovery service is also a data transforming service, and or a data processing service (and also, or not, a data distribution service)? *Catalog* I would have missed any discussion leading to the proposals to have Catalog and CatalogRecord classes. If this decided for sure? *Resource* Can Resource contain (zero to many) Resource? Thank you, Melanie
