Properties

We have no usage notes for dcat:bbox and dcat:centroid: grafik

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: grafik

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.
