Is used as dct:format and dct:mediaType of dcat:Distribution
No Controlled vocabulary on dcat-ap.de available
There is an interesting discussion on dct:format vs. dct:MediaType in DCAT-AP: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/discussion/pr22-remove-dcatmediatype-and-only-use-dctformat
Also there is a thread with some pointers about the IANA standards in RDF https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/media-types/current/msg00685.html
What we learned:
- DCAT-AP.de http://www.dcat-ap.de/def/dcatde/1_0/implRules.pdf states
DCAT-AP sieht zur Kennzeichnung des Dateiformats vor, dass für dct:format das MDR authority file und für dcat:mediaType die IANA Media Types zu verwenden sind
- There are more data formats than the IANA list covers. E.g. INSPIRE
We will screen grab the IANA list and publish a SKOS file here. This file will be acompanied by an additional file containing mediaTypes not found in the IANA specification.
The MDR authority file can be found here http://publications.europa.eu/mdr/resource/authority/file-type/skos/filetypes-skos.rdf
