GLD,

Although your Last Call period has finished, I was curious why you chose to invent dcat:dataset when it seems that Dublin Core provides adequate coverage:

http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-isPartOf
 "A related resource in which the described resource is physically or logically included."

http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-hasPart
 "A related resource that is included either physically or logically in the described resource."

I would much prefer to query by reusing existing and well-established vocabulary, e.g.

SELECT ?dataset 
WHERE {
  <your-catalog> 
     a dcat:Catalog;
     dcterms:hasPart ?dataset .

  ?dataset a dcat:Dataset .
}

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,
Tim Lebo
