ISSUE-8 ((in)direct data access): add a property to distinguish direct and indirect access of dcat:Distribution http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/8 Raised by: Fadi Maali On product: Raised by Martin Alvarez Espinar I would like to point out the need of an additional property for the dcat:Distribution class. It would be used to indicate if the access to data refereed by dcat:accessURL is either 'direct' or 'indirect'. We discussed it time ago, but we didn't modify the draft on the wiki. Some examples: -> Direct: accessURL points to a WebService, RSS, XLS, or XML, which offers the distribution directly. -> Indirect: accessURL points to a REST WebService or API documentation (how to use it, parameters, etc) | an XML zipped We have solved this issue using the property dcterms:type and a couple of concepts (indirect-access, direct-access) to set type of each distribution. [] a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL "http://.../file.xml"^^xsd:anyURI ; dcterms:type <http://purl.org/ctic/dcat#accessMode-direct> ; ... [] a dcat:Distribution ; dcat:accessURL "http://.../file.zip"^^xsd:anyURI ; dcterms:type <http://purl.org/ctic/dcat#accessMode-indirect> ; ...
