The new text states: "_The need to clearly distinguish between primary and legacy identifiers for a dataset has been identified as a requirement to be satisfied in the revision of DCAT_". I am not entirely in agreement with that. I would say that, yes, there is a need for such a distinction in particular cases, i.e. in harvesting environments where descriptions are copied among catalogues. This case is mentioned in the last sentence of the section: "_Depending on the application context, specific guidelines such as "DCAT-AP: How to manage duplicates?" can be adopted for distinguishing authoritative datasets from dataset harvested by third parties catalogs_". In my mind, the notion of primary and secondary (not **_legacy_**, I think) identifiers depends very much on the application environment. This requirement could be satisfied in a profile (as it is done on the EU DCAT-AP) and not in the base standard. -- GitHub Notification of comment by makxdekkers Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/614#issuecomment-444594450 using your GitHub account
