Minor editorial changes have been made:
 - [PR 1125](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1125) has updated the owl version in dcat.ttl;
 - [PR 1127](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1127) has uniformed the use of blanks and punctuation in the literals included in dcat.ttl;
 - [PR 1135]([https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1135](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1135)) has fixed coordinate order in ga-courts example;
 - [PR 1136](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1136) has inserted a note in section DCAT History to clarify that DCAT 2 maintains the DCAT namespace as it preserves backward compatibility with DCAT;
 - [PR 1140](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1140) has revised some class descriptions. It has removed descriptions of dcat:accessRights and dct:license for dcat:DataServices. These descriptions were redundant as they are already provided in the class dcat:Resource from which the two properties are inherited;
- [PR 1142](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1142) has updated the acknowledgements;
 - [PR 1141](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1141) and [PR 1143](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1143) have updated the link to implementation report;

# Wide Review


There was some discussion about the use of "conforms to" (see https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1130 ) and this has been carried forward into future work that will perhaps be undertaken in a DCAT Primer document.

Please note that the proposed updates to European Union and Member State application profiles of DCAT and the incorporation of DCAT v2 into other developing standards such as the registry of base registrys (ABR standard) are committments that will only be ratified if the DCAT v2 concludes successfully the W3C Rec Track.
