[dxwg] Linked Data Subject pages: distributions or data services or non-of-both? (#1390)

bertvannuffelen has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/dxwg:

== Linked Data Subject pages: distributions or data services or non-of-both? ==
I have the following discussion on which I have no clue about how to categorize them.

Online consultation of data is that a distribution, a data service or  non-of-both?

Consider Linked Data subject pages:

if one dereferences a URI then a document URI is returned. This html document can be nicely styled, having the data organized in such a way that I as a reader find it pleasant to read it. 

The collection of all subjectpages for URIs in a dataset is that a distribution of a dataset? Or is it a data service because it renders the data in a pleasant reading way? 

When the subject page shows also the location on a nice map, and offers additional further exploration links based on the location and the associated properties, can it then still be considered a distribution?  

 As we consider Linked Data Does if the subject page shows the labels of the codes and organisations by dereferencing the URIs ,
 can it then still be considered a distribution?  

If Linked Data Subject pages is categorized as a distribution, is then a map viewer also a distribution?

Are Linked Data Subject page data services because they use HTTP as protocol? Thus is using http as protocol sufficient to categorize it as a dataservice? 

This discussion is probably related to many issues such as #1242, but as it is a concrete case I have registered it separately.
