Hello John,
Our solution for this problem was specifying a type for each dataset instance, such as
:dataset001 a dcat:Dataset;
dcterms:type ctic:official.
Using a couple of defined resources:
'ctic:official' and 'ctic:non-official'. It was only used to define our catalog of OGD catalogs [1].
Best regards,
Martin
