Usage Of Location Properties `dcat:bbox` And `dcat:centroid`
Properties
We have no usage notes for dcat:bbox
and dcat:centroid
:
DCAT has an usage notes for bounding box and centroid:
(...) E.g., the geometry could be encoded as a WKT literal (geosparql:wktLiteral [GeoSPARQL]).
Geo-DCAT is way more specific what should be used for dcat:bbox
and dcat:centroid
:
Our usage note for dct:Location
recommends the approach of GeoDCAT:
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.
Proposal: align the Range for dcat:bbox
and dcat:centroid
with GeoDCAT or at least directly recommend this in the usage notes.
