Re: Notes on SDWBP - for discussion in 25 June call

Dear Bill, all,

About DCAT 2, a summary of what could be in scope with SDW is outlined
in the following mail:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdwig/2019Jul/0000.html

Compared with what said there, the final version of DCAT 2 does not
include terms from w3cgeo, following SDW feedback submitted by Linda:

https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/970

Please note also that DXWG is currently working towards a new version
of DCAT (as per the W3C evergreen standard process), addressing issues
and requirements that were left out in DCAT 2. Any feedback about
current or new issues would be more than welcome!

Simon and I are both involved, so we can provide more details on the
current and new versions of DCAT, if need be.

Cheers,

Andrea

This is covered in 12.1.3 but the OGC APIs make this kind of thing easier (in comparison to say WFS or typical features of GIS software) and could make for a good illustration
