Again, I would discourage using as examples any data type for which there is no existing or proven DCAT use. Until someone finds it actually useful in practice you only have speculation, and that speculation could misinform someone coming to DCAT for the first time. People can decide for themselves if DCAT meets their needs without misdirection. When there are examples of a variety of uses, those can become part of the DCAT documentation. I support @agreiner 's approach, as someone who has about 40 years experience with catalogs, none of which I would consider to be catalogs of datasets even though there are many digital materials in those catalogs. [Dataset](http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2018026119.html) is really distinct from other digital resources in my world, and we do manage digital and physical resources, including datasets, digital art, electronic texts, etc., in our catalogs. I don't actually know of any community that lumps together all digital resources as "datasets" and I wouldn't consider it useful to imply such a broad definition. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kcoyle Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1221#issuecomment-604521634 using your GitHub account
