Ostensibly, the format property should match the media type, but is there a good way to indicate the archive contents?

See: http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/12 the recommended way is at the bottom of the page: "Agreed: define dcat:mediaType as a sub-property of dc:format. Publishers should use dcat:mediaType to provide a Media Type as defined by IANA. if this is not available, then publishers may use dc:format" therefore, what you wrote above looks correct to me. You might consider adding a dcat:mimeType property. > > 2) Any suggestions for including the contact information for a dataset, i.e., who to call with questions? dc:publisher, dc:creator and dc:mediator are close, but not quite. You can define a maintainer or creator as a resource and provide the email as a property of him. Something ilke :dataset dc:maintainer :person . :person foaf:mbox <mailto:p@xx.com> . > > Thanks, > Tim Herzog > World Bank Best regards, Fadi
