DCAT-US writer: support describedBy field

hmaier-fws opened this issue · comments

Support DCAT-US describedBy field. This field is also a component of the distribution array.

Conditionality: optional | conditional
Namespace: pod: "https://project-open-data.cio.gov/v1.1/schema#" ??

Description

URL to the data dictionary for the dataset. Note that documentation other than a data dictionary can be referenced using Related Documents (references).

Usage notes

This is used to specify a data dictionary or schema that defines fields or column headings in the dataset. If this is a machine readable file, it’s recommended to be specified with describedBy at the distribution level along with the associated describedByType. At the dataset level it’s assumed to be a human readable HTML webpage or PDF document. Documentation that is not specifically a data dictionary belongs in “references”
