Re: [dxwg] Service vs endpoint (#1242)

In Flanders this discussion has resulted in the following rough guideline:

A Data Service is smart access to one or more Datasets, where the access to the data can be manipulated by the user.  
A Distribution of a Dataset is a way to access the data without any user interaction. The user can obtain the complete data as described by the Dataset by a sequences of connected paginated requests.

That means that a download service which allows to download a part of geographic data based on the user selection criteria is a dataservice, while a complete configured call to the same service downloading all geographic information that is described in a dataset is a distribution of that dataset.
