Humans interact with the dataService through some software application that uses functionality of the DataService API. See [#1242 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1242#issuecomment-647195521), above

Is then a JSON REST API which just implements HTTP CRUD operations for you a distribution? For me that is actually a prototypical example of a dataservice. 

Also is a webbrowser for you an software application? Or is is it at the level of an operating system? 

It is hard for me to draw strict lines, I am in the search for some good criteria. And the above ones were the best guidelines I could define in a few sentences, which would lead so somehow a coherent catalog.
