Hi Markus,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You may also want to look at the approach being adopted in the Health Care and Life Sciences community that was developed as an extension to the DCAT and VoID vocabularies. The approach has no health care or life sciences specific details.</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/hcls-dataset/" class="">https://www.w3.org/TR/hcls-dataset/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The crucial aspect of the approach is that it is three tiered (see Section 5 of the above note): one for capturing the generic notion of a specific dataset, e.g. there is a dataset called Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which captures the time unchanging
properties; next there are descriptions for each version of the dataset (versions 1 -12) which capture the version specific information such as when the version was released, who worked on it, etc; finally there are the distribution descriptions which describe
the specific files and their formats.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best regards,</div>

Thanks for resurrecting the topic. I have a few comments below, but first as a meta-comment, should we consider reusing, when possible, the relationTypes found in the DataCite schema (<a href="http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-3/doc/DataCite-MetadataKernel_v3.1.pdf" class="">http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-3/doc/DataCite-MetadataKernel_v3.1.pdf</a>)?
This may be useful for two reasons: it makes our life easier if and when the day comes to cross-walk between DataLink and DataCite and, perhaps more importantly, it borrows semantics generated by a cross-disciplinary community of practitioners who had to come
up with schemas for describing data, which is really what we are trying to do here. I'll use some of them below.</div>
