Tag review (at above issue)

riccardoAlbertoni_: Issue explains the background. Includes the observation that RDF lists aren't normally hierarchical

<riccardoAlbertoni_> me https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wzNH7C0ivAp2y848Uics5vtR5Ti9t4iXjbzgtS5z3g0/edit?usp=sharing

<discussion and ideas around how this might be made to work, and what the benefits might be
… draft reply has been put together explaining our perspective

riccardoAlbertoni_: What do people think?

DaveBrowning: The draft seems sensible to me. We may be missing something, but it doesn't seem natural to do this
… if we are missing something then we'd obviously consider it.

riccardoAlbertoni_: Perhaps we should discuss in the plenary or with Pierre-Antoine

<riccardoAlbertoni_> https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1532

riccardoAlbertoni_: seems useful to do this

<riccardoAlbertoni_> If representations of a dataset are available for each language separately, define an instance of dcat:Distribution for each language and describe the specific language of each distribution using dcterms:language (i.e., the dataset will have multiple dcterms:language values and each distribution will have just one as the value of its dcterms:language property).

Issue 1532

<riccardoAlbertoni_> If representations of a dataset are available for each language OR GROUP OF LANGUAGES separately, define an instance of dcat:Distribution for each language OR GROUP, and describe the specific language of each distribution using dcterms:language (i.e., the dataset will have multiple dcterms:language values and each distribution will have just one as the value of its dcterms:language property).

riccardoAlbertoni_: Perhaps this issue really means we should be more explicit?

DaveBrowning: Looks like worth preparing a PR

riccardoAlbertoni_: Okay - I'll do that and reply to the issue as well

Attribution

riccardoAlbertoni_: This created a long discussion during June (when the WG was on break).
… this possibly needs some reflection. Its a DCAT2 feature so any work on this would probably need to be prioritised as part of future work
