@agreiner, your comment highlights an attention point, for the future:

During this discussion the difference in how people interpret '_a collection of data_' has been highlighted. That indeed means that semantical (definitional) issues might occur. This is normal, but therefore the expected usage context of DCAT should be clear. There is always a vagueness in human language, but for machines there is no vaguess: it is true or it is false. It is the binding between these two worlds that a vocabulary should do as good as possible, otherwise the outcome of reasoning by a machine will not match the intuition of the human reasoning. Lets balance on the cord, but at least we are aware of the difference.
