Re: [dxwg] Confusion between major classes as newly defined in DCAT (#431)

@smrgeoinfo according to your description, it seems to me that ISO19115 MD_Distribution does not have a similar intention to dcat:Distribution. As you mentioned, MD_Distribution is about accessing the dataset, while dcat:Distribution is about the dataset representation. 

See the usage note here: https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/#Class:Distribution

"[dcat:Distribution] represents a general availability of a dataset. It implies no information about the actual access method of the data, i.e. whether by direct download, API, or through a Web page. The use of dcat:downloadURL property indicates directly downloadable distributions."
