|---|---|---|---|
A resource type. | Used to describe one or more datasets. This describes details about the dataset(s). However, a single dataset can have different ways in which they are made available to potential users. How the data in a dataset can be accessed is defined in the Distribution. |

A catalog that is listed in the National catalog. | Used to describe a bundle of datasets, data services, biobanks, patient registries, or guidelines together under a single title. |
| |
An entity that is associated with catalog and/or Datasets. | If the Agent is an organisation, the use of the Organization Ontologyis recommended. |

An available distribution of the dataset. | Used to describe the different ways that a single dataset can be made available in. I.e., it can be downloaded or it can be accessed online in one or more distributions (e.g. one in a downloadable .csv file, another file with an access or query webpage) |

A resource type. Dataset series are defined in [ISO-19115] as a collection of datasets […] sharing common characteristics. However, their use is not limited to geospatial data, although in other domains they can be named differently (e.g., time series, data slices) and defined more or less strictly (see, e.g., the notion of "dataset slice" in VOCAB-DATA-CUBE). | With Dataset Series we refer to data, somehow interrelated, that are published separately. An example is budget data split by year and/or country, instead of being made available in a single dataset. |

A Resource type. | The kind of service can be indicated using the DRAFT EXAMPLE: |

Abstract Class
Cataloged Resource is a generic concept from the DCAT vocabulary, that is rarely used directly, but indirectly through its extensions. We recommend avoiding using dcat:Resourcedirectly for your document and requesting a model extension or update, in case the type/class you need is not in this schema.
