Re: Include examples for all properties

Hello Leigh,

Sorry for late reply.

I have extended the examples in the DCAT specification to include the other properties. https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/dcat/index.html#basic-example
In particular I added:
- dct:spatial with an example URI from Geonames
- dct:temporal with an example URI from the Interval dataset from data.gov.uk
- dcat:contactPoint with an made-up URI and a description that this can be further described using VCARD.

Can you please let us know if you think this addresses your comment.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Fadi Maali
