I think you misread my comment. It was not about policing, it is about **expressing** as DCAT vocabulary group **as clear as possible the intend of DCAT**. In that exercice, past/existing implementations can be an inspiration, but in my personal view, not at all cost all implementations should be fittable into the intend. It is really fine for me that an existing implementation might fall (partially) out the intended scope definition, if that leads to a more coherent story for DCAT. > > 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. > If that is the intend: namely to cover all data catalogues, please express that using an introduction that explicitly states that. Open Data Portals are a specific kind of data catalogues in that sense. So it is better to not solely use that usage context as motivation. Maybe because for you 'a collection of data' means intuitively any 'digital object', but that is not the case for everyone. I hope I made it clear that it is for me not about _policing_, but about ensuring that the intuitive reading of the specification leads to an intuitive usage. -- GitHub Notification of comment by bertvannuffelen Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1221#issuecomment-596386426 using your GitHub account
