Re: [dxwg] Are the dcat definitions and usage notes available in RDF? (#1419)

> @simsong, I see in the ttl file that a range of `rdfs:Literal` is assigned to properties that are defined as `owl:ObjectProperty`. Now I am not an expert in OWL, but isn't it the case that `owl:DataProperty` is the kind of property that is meant to connect individuals with literals? There are for example properties like `usg:hostingLocation` and `usg:datasetClassification` with range `rdfs:Literal`, but should those not be _things_ rather than _strings_?

Hi. If you are referring to the file `usg.ttl`, my request is that we move the discussion to https://github.com/usdhs/dcat-tool/issues.

If you can make specific recommendations for what to change, that would be great! Again, I am a beginner at this.

With respect to `usg:datasetClassification`, unfortunately my current plan is for this to be a string that is parsed, rather than for a well-developed ontology. This is a result of operational concerns: it is not possible for me to document all of the possible values of this string. So this is a way of kicking the can down the road.
