RE: [ACTION 11] Initial DCAT to meta-share mapping

Hi Dave and all.
I've made some comments (in italics to easily spot) at the wiki for the
MetaShare to DCAT mapping. Please, note the following:
- the proposal looks only at dcat:dataset and dcat:distribution but there
are also dcat:catalog and dcat:catalogRecord. MetaShare has not looked at
catalogs at all, but some of the elements can be mapped to
dcat:catalogRecord properties. Should we look into this also? 
- Some of the comments refer to the XML implementation of MetaShare (i.e.
elements that have not been included in the current version of MS/RDF-OWL)
but I have added them as they will be of use for the final XML to RDF
conversion of the original MetaShare schema.
Best,
Penny

Subject: [ACTION 11] Initial DCAT to meta-share mapping

Hi all,
I've made an initial analysis of how we can make use DCAT in revising the
meta-share vocabulary at:
https://www.w3.org/community/ld4lt/wiki/DCAT_MetaShare_Mapping

Some points we can discuss on the call shortly:

1) classifying ms:LanguageResource as a dcat:Dataset - see:
https://www.w3.org/community/ld4lt/wiki/DCAT_MetaShare_Mapping#Make_Language
Resource_a_DCAT_Dataset

2) separating meta-data about the resource from meta-data about its
accessible forms or distributions - see:
https://www.w3.org/community/ld4lt/wiki/DCAT_MetaShare_Mapping#Separate_Lang
uageResource_metadata_from_metadata_of_its_Accessible_Form

3) (which I haven't documented yet) is using dcat:theme attribute for
LanguageResource properties that comply to a specific scheme or taxonomy
using skos:concept and skos:ConceptScheme. This would make sense for
ms:domain, but also perhaps for making explicit the subclass taxonomy
LanguageResource, e.g. Corpus etc.

Talk to you shortly,
Dave
