But then I'd argue that a JPEG file is a collection of pixels, etc. I don't mind that, it's just that in that case "dataset" becomes "every digital object". Which does not seems like the intention. > published or curated by a single agent So collaboratively edited open-source software doesn't count? Another question is what we gain by including software, JPEG, etc. into the definition of dataset. It then essentially becomes equivalent to "information resource", including all RDF resources except those that are non-information like real-world entities. So not sure if the concept of dataset is than any longer very meaningful. -- GitHub Notification of comment by RubenVerborgh Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1221#issuecomment-594610745 using your GitHub account
