Profiles	class Catalog (dcat:Catalog) Definition: A curated collection of metadata about resources (e.g., datasets and data services in the context of a data catalog).
Usage note	A Web-based data catalog is typically represented as a single instance of this class. Datasets and data services are examples of resources in the context of a data catalog.

Backwards associations

IRI	https://mff-uk.github.io/specifications/dcat-dap/#Catalog.catalog
Label	catalog
Definition	A catalog that is listed in the catalog.
Domain	Catalog

Range	Document [0..*]
Profiles	property homepage (foaf:homepage) Definition: This axiom needed so that Protege loads DCAT 3 without errors.
Usage note	foaf:homepage is an inverse functional property (IFP) which means that it MUST be unique and precisely identify the Web-page for the resource. This property indicates the canonical Web-page, which might be helpful in cases where there is more than one Web-page about the resource.

record

IRI	https://mff-uk.github.io/specifications/dcat-dap/#Catalog.record

Domain	Catalog
Range	Cataloged Resource [0..*]
Profiles	property resource (dcat:resource) Definition: A resource that is listed in the catalog.
Usage note	This is the most general predicate for membership of a catalog. Use of a more specific sub-property is recommended when available.

IRI	https://mff-uk.github.io/specifications/dcat-dap/#Catalog.service
Label	service
Definition	A service that is listed in the catalog.
Domain	Catalog

Catalog Record

IRI	https://mff-uk.github.io/specifications/dcat-dap/#CatalogRecord
Label	Catalog Record
Definition	A record in a catalog, describing the registration of a single dcat:Resource.
Profiles	class Catalog Record (dcat:CatalogRecord) Definition: A record in a data catalog, describing the registration of a single dataset or data service.
Usage note	This class is optional and not all catalogs will use it. It exists for catalogs where a distinction is made between metadata about a dataset or service and metadata about the entry in the catalog about the dataset or service. For example, the publication date property of the dataset reflects the date when the information was originally made available by the publishing agency, while the publication date of the catalog record is the date when the dataset was added to the catalog. In cases where both dates differ, or where only the latter is known, the publication date SHOULD only be specified for the catalog record. Notice that the W3C PROV Ontology [PROV-O] allows describing further provenance information such as the details of the process and the agent involved in a particular change to a dataset or its registration.

Label	Cataloged Resource
Definition	Resource published or curated by a single agent.
Profiles	class Catalogued resource (dcat:Resource) Definition: Resource published or curated by a single agent.
Usage note	The class of all cataloged resources, the super-class of dcat:Dataset, dcat:DataService, dcat:Catalog and any other member of a dcat:Catalog. This class carries properties common to all cataloged resources, including datasets and data services. The instances of this class SHOULD be included in a catalog. When describing a resource which is not a dcat:Dataset or dcat:DataService, it is recommended to create a suitable sub-class of dcat:Resource, or use dcat:Resource with the dcterms:type property to indicate the specific type. dcat:Resource is an extension point that enables the definition of any kind of catalog. Additional sub-classes may be defined in a DCAT profile or other DCAT application for catalogs of other kinds of resources.

Usage note	This property is intended for relating a non-versioned or abstract resource to several versioned resources, e.g., snapshots [PAV]. The notion of version used by this property is limited to versions resulting from revisions occurring to a resource as part of its life-cycle. Therefore, its semantics is more specific than its super-property dcterms:hasVersion, which makes use of a broader notion of version, including editions and adaptations.

Usage note	In relation to the use case of data citation, when the cataloged resource is a dataset, the dcterms:isReferencedBy property allows to relate the dataset to the resources (such as scholarly publications) that cite or point to the dataset. Multiple dcterms:isReferencedBy properties can be used to indicate the dataset has been referenced by multiple publications, or other resources. This property is used to associate a resource with the resource (of type dcat:Resource) in question. For other relations to resources not covered with this property, the more generic property dcat:qualifiedRelation can be used. See also 15. Qualified relations.

Profiles	property Language (dcterms:language) Definition: A language of the resource.
Usage note	Repeat this property if the resource is available in multiple languages. The value(s) provided for members of a catalog (i.e., dataset or service) override the value(s) provided for the catalog if they conflict. If representations of a dataset are available for each language separately, define an instance of dcat:Distribution for each language and describe the specific language of each distribution using dcterms:language (i.e., the dataset will have multiple dcterms:language values and each distribution will have just one as the value of its dcterms:language property). In case of multilingual distributions, the distributions will have multiple dcterms:language values.

Domain	Cataloged Resource
Range	Resource [0..*]
Profiles	property previous (dcat:prev) Definition: The previous resource (before the current one) in an ordered collection or series of resources.
Usage note	In DCAT this property is used for resources belonging to a dcat:DatasetSeries. It is important to note that this property is different from dcat:previousVersion, as it does not denote a previous version of the same resource, but a distinct resource immediately preceding the current one in an ordered collection of resources.

Usage note	Used to link to an Agent where the nature of the relationship is known but does not match one of the standard [DCTERMS] properties (dcterms:creator, dcterms:publisher). Use dcat:hadRole on the prov:Attribution to capture the responsibility of the Agent with respect to the Resource. See 15.1 Relationships between datasets and agents for usage examples.
