Class: DataDownload¶

A distribution of a dataset, modeled as an access point: the landing page is its dcat:accessURL (and schema:url). It does not link a direct file (no contentUrl/downloadURL), so it is deliberately not a schema:DataDownload. encodingFormat/mediaType describe the data available through it. Anonymous (no identifier) — projects as an inlined blank node (PropertyValue/Location precedent); the media-type IRI is a value (mediaType), not the node's identity.

Slots¶

Name	Cardinality and Range	Description	Inheritance
encodingFormat	0..1 String	Media/encoding format. Shared by DataDownload (single, per distribution) and SoftwareApplication (multivalued, formats the software reads/writes).	direct
mediaType	0..1 MediaType	IANA media type of this distribution as a resolvable IRI (dcat:mediaType). Projected as an IRI reference — mirrors accessUrl/endpointUrl.	direct
accessUrl	0..1 WebResource	Access point for the distribution: the landing page where the data can be browsed and obtained (DCAT allows a landing page as accessURL).	direct
url	0..1 Uri	URL to the website that contains and/or describes the digital object or person.	direct
license	0..1 License	A schema:CreativeWork license node (id/name/url), used by provenance entities (ProvEntity) and DataDownload. Distinct slot from catalogLicense/sourceLicense but the same range (License) and predicate (schema:license).	direct
