Re: [dxwg] question > is a software solution a dcat:Dataset? (#1221)

We stumbled upon this issue when defining mappings from ISO 19115 and DataCite to DCAT-AP, since both ISO 19115 and DataCite support different resource types. The adopted solution is described in UC20:

https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#ID20

Basically, the approach was to use `dcat:Dataset` whenever possible, and its broader sense, but also use soft typing to specify the "type" of dataset, by reusing the relevant classes in DCMI Terms.

This approach is elaborated in Section 6.1 of the specification documenting the mappings from DataCite to DCAT-AP:
