@bertvannuffelen `A Data Service is smart access to one or more Datasets, where the access to the data can be manipulated by the user.` 'can be manipulated by the user' implies some kind of API beyond the basic HTTP Get (with no parameters). The current model of Distribution in DCAT provides a downloadURL; this seems to correspond to what you would redefine as a distribution. dcat:Distribution also has an accessURL, for the situations where the user has to go to a landing page from which they can actually access the data; under your suggestion this would apparently be a DataService-- it requires user interaction. To me the key intention of DataService is that it defines an API to automate interaction, beyond the basic HTTP CRUD operations operating on files that a web browser does (accessURL and downloadURL handle these cases). Humans interact with the dataService through some software application that uses functionality of the DataService API.
