Data type for parameters

Closed this issue · 1 comments

In the current schema the data type of a web service parameter seems to be expressed using the element dct:type from the Dublin Core schema. This looks like it was intended to define a resource type rather than a data type. Is there a reason for its use here? Is there any proposal to use a more tightly defined schema that can express specific data types, such as xmlschema-2?

This requirement can be satisfied in revised EPOS-DCAT-AP with RDF/turtle serialisation here:
https://github.com/epos-eu/EPOS-DCAT-AP/tree/EPOS-DCAT-AP-shapes

However @ulbricht and @wxlfrank had comments about datatypes. (see line 173 of https://github.com/epos-eu/EPOS-DCAT-AP/blob/EPOS-DCAT-AP-shapes/examples/example_WP08.ttl in the other branch).

@ulbricht and @wxlfrank and @ltrani do you think we can use types referenced as (for instance) ^^xsd:string?
