Open Questions for schema.org/Dataset Annotations

Hello all,

 

first of all thanks to the contributors for this initiative!

 

Writing on behalf of the  WebDataCommons team (http://webdatacommons.org/),
we would be very willing to participate!

 

There are however some open questions concerning the usage of schema.org
annotations for datasets:

1.       We have lots of data for downloading located in hundreds of files.
Thus, we provide in our page small txt files containing listings of the
links for download of the dataset files (an example page you can find here
<http://webdatacommons.org/structureddata/2016-10/stats/how_to_get_the_data.
html> ). Is it correct to use the distribution.contentURL property to denote
such a page ?

2.       WebDataCommons provides additionally subsets of its main datasets
such as schemaOrg domain specific subsets. Would you consider the subsets as
distinct dataset entities that should be annotated in addition?

 

Thank you very much for your feedback!

 

Best,

Anna
