Re: Dataset Exchange Working Group UCR

Dear Jaroslav,

Now I have read the DCAT Recommendation I have come to the conclusion 
that it covers a world that is fairly remote from what we try to achieve 
with ISO 15926.

Having aid that, one day the two worlds will touch when you include:

  * our Reference Data Library <http://data.15926.org/rdl/>, stored in a
    triple store
  * any life-cycle information about a facility of some kind

Then the DCAT rules apply.

Regards, Hans
