Sure it is, if I'm using that to make a decision and want to refer to it as an officially sanctioned asset I can use for that decision making. There's an underlying issue here that the notion of "semantic asset" is not intrinsic to the thing. What makes something a semantic asset is that some authority wants to declare it as such by putting it in an approved repository. But one person's semantic asset is another persons useless pile of insufficiently structured irrelevant data. So it's really a relationship, not a class. That said, it sounds like there's enough differences between what dcat wants to talk about and what adms wants to talk about that radion has a role at least as an articulation of a mapping. Dave
