I think we should consider here cases where "provenance" is expressed in a discursive way - e.g., when describing the dataset lineage (as mentioned in [UC9](https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#ID9)). This is quite a common practice for scientific data and in some domains, as the geospatial one. In most cases, these lineage descriptions are such that they cannot be easily converted into a machine-actionable representation. In DCAT-AP, this is done by using `dct:provenance`/`dct:ProvenanceStatement`/`rdfs:label`, and according to the [report on DCAT-AP usage statistics from the European Data Portal](https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/document/report-dcat-ap-use), this information is included in more than 50% of the EDP records (391,616). It may be worth considering its inclusion in DCAT. -- GitHub Notification of comment by andrea-perego Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/76#issuecomment-464250984 using your GitHub account
