Location
| Profiled class IRI(s) |
dcterms:Location
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Location |
| Label |
Location |
| Definition |
A spatial region or named place. |
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
It can be represented using a controlled vocabulary or with geographic coordinates. In the latter case, the use of the Core Location Vocabulary is recommended, following the approach described in the GeoDCAT-AP specification. |

bbox
| Profiled relationship IRI(s) |
dcat:bbox
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Location.bbox |
| Label |
bbox |
| Definition |
The geographic bounding box of a resource. |
| Domain |
Location
|
| Range |
Literal
[0..1]
|
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
The range of this property (rdfs:Literal) is intentionally generic, with the purpose of allowing different geometry literal encodings. E.g., the geometry could be encoded as a WKT literal (geosparql:wktLiteral [[GeoSPARQL]]). |
centroid
| Profiled relationship IRI(s) |
dcat:centroid
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Location.centroid |
| Label |
centroid |
| Definition |
The geographic center (centroid) of a resource. |
| Domain |
Location
|
| Range |
Literal
[0..1]
|
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
The range of this property (rdfs:Literal) is intentionally generic, with the purpose of allowing different geometry literal encodings. E.g., the geometry could be encoded as a WKT literal (geosparql:wktLiteral [[GeoSPARQL]]). |
geometry
| Profiled relationship IRI(s) |
locn:geometry
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Location.geometry |
| Label |
geometry |
| Definition |
The corresponding geometry for a resource. |
| Domain |
Location
|
| Range |
Geometry
[0..1]
|
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
The range of this property is intentionally generic, with the purpose of allowing different geometry encodings. E.g., the geometry could be encoded as WKT (geosparql:asWKT [GeoSPARQL]). |
Relationship
| Profiled class IRI(s) |
dcat:Relationship
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Relationship |
| Label |
Relationship |
| Definition |
An association class for attaching additional information to a relationship between DCAT Resources. |
| Hierarchy |
|
Properties
For this class profile the following properties are defined: had role, relation.

had role
| Profiled relationship IRI(s) |
dcat:hadRole
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Relationship.hadRole |
| Label |
had role |
| Definition |
The function of an entity or agent with respect to another entity or resource. |
| Domain |

|
| Range |
Role
[1..*]
|
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
May be used in a qualified-attribution to specify the role of an Agent with respect to an Entity. It is recommended that the value be taken from a controlled vocabulary of agent roles, such as [[ISO-19115]] CI_RoleCode.
May be used in a qualified-relation to specify the role of an Entity with respect to another Entity. It is recommended that the value be taken from a controlled vocabulary of entity roles. |
relation
| Profiled relationship IRI(s) |
dcterms:relation
|
| IRI |
dcat-ap:Relationship.relation |
| Label |
relation |
| Definition |
The resource related to the source resource. |
| Domain |
Relationship
|
| Range |
Resource
[1..*]
|
| Hierarchy |
|
| Usage note |
In the context of a dcat:Relationship this is expected to point to another dcat:Dataset or other cataloged resource. |
