ISSUE-8: add a property to distinguish direct and indirect access of dcat:Distribution
(in)direct data access
add a property to distinguish direct and indirect access of dcat:Distribution
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- DCAT

- Description:
- Raised by Martin Alvarez Espinar
I would like to point out the need of an additional property for the dcat:Distribution class. It would be used to indicate if the access to data refereed by dcat:accessURL is either 'direct' or 'indirect'. We discussed it time ago, but we didn't modify the draft on the wiki.
Some examples:
-> Direct: accessURL points to a WebService, RSS, XLS, or XML, which
offers the distribution directly.
-> Indirect: accessURL points to a REST WebService or API
documentation (how to use it, parameters, etc) | an XML zipped
We have solved this issue using the property dcterms:type and a couple of concepts (indirect-access, direct-access) to set type of each distribution.
[] a dcat:Distribution ;
dcat:accessURL "http://.../file.xml"^^xsd:anyURI ;
dcterms:type <http://purl.org/ctic/dcat#accessMode-direct> ;
...
[] a dcat:Distribution ;
dcat:accessURL "http://.../file.zip"^^xsd:anyURI ;
dcterms:type <http://purl.org/ctic/dcat#accessMode-indirect> ;

Related notes:
in http://wiki.okfn.org/OpenDataCatalogues/2#Proposed_Harvest_Mechanism#Changes_to_DCAT_to_support_the_catalog_model
the suggested solution is to add the property dcat:directURL so that a distribution has two properties (accessURL and directURL) with the same value if and only if we it's a direct download/endpoint URL
discussed 27/9/12 and moved to OPEN

Richard Cyganiak, 31 Jan 2013, 19:19:32[28 Feb] I don't see any problems with Fadi's proposal at: http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Data_Catalog_Vocabulary/AccessURLRedesign
John Erickson, 28 Feb 2013, 15:31:02+1 to Fadi's proposal (http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Data_Catalog_Vocabulary/AccessURLRedesign). Compatible with existing catalogs and easy to distinguish between landing pages and data access.
