Dear all, I am trying to get my head around some of the proposed changes to DCAT in response to comments made on the second call working draft. Some changes proposed are minor editorial changes, but I also see some changes that are bigger (changing properties and introducing additional modelling). I am concerned that some of those changes, if applied, could make the DCAT application profile for data portals in Europe (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/dcat_application_profile/asset_releas e/dcat-application-profile-data-portals-europe-final) non-compliant. That profile was agreed among representatives of many European data portals and was published in the understanding that a second last call would only lead to minor editorial changes. Although I might not disagree with the need for additional modelling (after all, some of that additional modelling was done for in ADMS -- e.g. versioning, translations), I would hate to see those model changes invalidate both ADMS and DCAT-AP. Overall, I think that some of the changes that are being proposed need more discussion. Makx.
