This lack of guideline is justified by the fact that no standard exists.
The resource at the access URL may contain information about how to get the Dataset.ĭ ownloadURL: this property contains a URL that is a direct link to a downloadable file in a given format.Ĭurrently, DCAT specifies that you can use the distribution to point, for example, to API but DCAT is not clear about how this should be used. The previous discussions regarding this issue are available here.ĪccessURL: this property contains a URL that gives access to a Distribution of the Dataset. Is the best way to handle this to change the requirement to ask either for the accessURL or the downloadURL for any dcat:Distribution? The fact that downloadURL is considered as a specific form of accessURL but without being defined as a sub-property of the second would suppose a duplication of information in certain cases due to the mandatory specification of accessURL. In some cases, accessURL might not be needed and the information in downloadURL and accessURL is duplicated.
