Hi Shuji, I wondered about this. It's true that the schema is slightly out of sync with the Recommendation document. In theory they should be the same but in practice, as you found, they're not quite. They are separate documents so it's not the case that the must use identical text. Indeed, I'm expecting the new Data on the Web Best Practices WG to extend DCAT, i.e. define new terms that will be reflected in the schema but not in the existing DCAT Rec. So we can do one of two things: 1. Stick as things are; 2. Draw on your good nature even more and ask you to send me the few extra translations. Your call :-) Thanks again Phil.
