> Hi @riccardoAlbertoni! Thanks for getting the ball rolling. What are your thoughts on @danbri's point? Hi @hadleybeeman and @danbri, Yes, you can model hierarchies as lists of lists. However, some considerations have brought a different design pattern for DCAT dataset series: - rdf:List recalls LISP-like list, while we chose to provide a different navigation structure closer to how dataset series are perceived in other domains. - There wasn't any use case hinting at aligning dataset series with rdf:List. Out of curiosity, I tried to explore possible mapping between dataset series and rdf:List. Unfortunately, the exploration was not very encouraging. Roughly speaking, RDF lists might be induced starting from a DCAT dataset series, but at the cost of building a parallel RDF list structure (e.g., via a SPARQL construct) or collapsing the rdf:list and their list items/resources. As far as I could explore, considering the requirements and considerations which drove the design, forcing an alignment between the DCAT dataset series and the RDF list seems artificial. The same feeling informally emerged in our discussion during the last DCAT subgroup meeting last Tuesday, but we were only a few people. Also, a very shallow read to the mail and the semantic web paper pointed out by Dan seem not to encourage the effort. (BTW, Thanks, @danbri, for the suggestions.) Anyway, we are open to considering ideas for mappings between dataset series in DCAT and rdf:List, especially if anyone has an elegant mapping to suggest and if a well-spotted motivating scenario emerges. -- GitHub Notification of comment by riccardoAlbertoni Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1530#issuecomment-1255206996 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
