But now you are arguing for this working group to take on the role of Dataset Police! I don't think that we as a group are in the business of declaring good or bad practices -- we're in the business of defining a vocabulary that we think is useful for the description of all kinds of data catalogues.

I quite like @dr-shorthair's proposal which leaves it really to the user to decide. If they think DCAT meets their needs, please let them use it -- if not, they can define something else, either as an extension of DCAT by creating a local subclass of `dcat:Resource`, or by creating their own vocabulary outside of it.
