Description of the information contained in the two properties:
-
dct:spatial
“The MDR Named Authority Lists must be used for continents, countries and places that are in those lists; if a particular location is not in one of the mentioned Named Authority Lists, Geonames URIs must be used.” -
dct:location
“A spatial region or named place. 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.”
Issue:
The use of the MDR vs. Geonames vs. the Core Location Vocabulary URIs seems to be confusing. A new guideline could clarify, e.g. by giving examples of actual use.
