Sorry, this doesn't really fit into one single github issue. One sentence in the use case about relaxing axiomatization concerns me. I know we just voted on it, but I didn't get to read it carefully until just now. We are saying "...we are not aware of any catalogs in which reasoning is an important part of their operation." That statement worries me, since part of the potential value of a vocabulary is to enable reasoning if someone wants to build an application that does that. I may even have a counterexample use case. I've been working on an application that works on log data from supercomputing systems, where the various log files are described using DCAT. We have logs for a wide variety of subsystems, like networking, node operation, job scheduling, boot cycles, etc. We want to be able to reason about relationships between these different log sets (e.g., if a network link went down, we want to find log data about the nodes on the ends of that link.) At this point, I'm not sure that our use case requires us to keep stricter axiomatization than the group is planning to preserve, but it's probably worth thinking through. -Annette -- Annette Greiner NERSC Data and Analytics Services Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
