Re: Fwd: Re: Naive question on DCAT versioning

Ghislain, Makx,

@Makx: the problem I'm raising assumes you've made the decision of creating a new version as a new resource, which is, as I understand it, what ADMS would happily accommodate (see the diagram at http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-adms/#asset-distribution-1).
If you have two versions, i.e. two instances of adms:Asset, then you have also two instances of dcat:Dataset.
My worry was that this "duplication" of dcat:Dataset does not really fit well with what I've read from DCAT. (see the body of my email at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-gld-wg/2013Jul/0045.html, before Phil's re-wording).

@Ghislain: I'm not sure I understand your point: "as far as it is reflected in the metadata, such as dct:modified" seems to hint that you're just updating an existing instance of dcat:Dataset. But my point is about when there is a *new resource* of dcat:Dataset, as explained above.
http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Class:_Dataset does not say anything about whether such treatment is allowed or discouraged in DCAT. And thus if ADMS is compliant with DCAT or not.
