<section id="motivation" class="informative"><h2>Motivation for change</h2>
<p>The original Recommendation [[?VOCAB-DCAT-20140116]], published in January 2014, provided the basic framework for describing datasets. Importantly, it made the distinction between a dataset as an abstract idea and a distribution as a manifestation of the dataset. Although DCAT has been widely adopted, it has become clear that the original specification lacked a number of essential features that were added either through application profiles, such as the European Commission's DCAT-AP [[?DCAT-AP]], or the development of larger vocabularies that, to a greater or lesser extent, built upon the base standard, such as the Healthcare and Life Sciences Community Profile [[?HCLS-Dataset]], the Data Tag Suite [[?DATS]] and more. This version of DCAT has been developed to address the specific shortcomings that have come to light through the experiences of different communities, the aim being, of course, to improve interoperability between the outputs of these larger vocabularies.
For example, in this new DCAT version, we provide classes, properties and guidance to address <a href="Dereferenceable-identifiers">identifiers</a>, <a href="#quality-information">quality information</a>, <a href="#data-citation">data citation</a> issues.</p>
For example, in this new DCAT version, we provide classes, properties and guidance to address <a href="#Dereferenceable-identifiers">identifiers</a>, <a href="#quality-information">quality information</a>, <a href="#data-citation">data citation</a> issues.</p>
<p>This draft includes re-writing of the specification throughout. Significant changes from the 2014 Recommendation are marked within the text using "Note" sections, as well as being described in the <a href="#changes">Change History</a>.</p>
