The need to provide richer descriptions of dataset aspects (e.g. instrument/sensor used, spatial feature, observable property, quantity kind) has been identified as a requirement to be satisfied in the revision of DCAT.

<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#RDSC">Dataset citation</a> is one of the requirements identified for the DCAT revision.
Data citation is the practice of referencing data in a similar way as when providing bibliographic references, acknowledging data
as a first class output in any investigative process.
Data citation offers multiple benefits, such as crediting those producing the data, facilitating data discovery, supporting tracking the impact and reuse of data.

To support data citation, the dataset description should include at a minimum: the dataset identifier, the dataset creator (added in this DCAT revision
as part of the properties recommended for Dataset), the dataset title, the dataset publisher and the dataset release date.

The constraints on the availability of such properties in the dataset description can be represented as a DCAT data citation profile.

<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#RDSC">Dataset citation</a> is one of the requirements identified for the DCAT revision.
Data citation is the practice of referencing data in a similar way as when providing bibliographic references, acknowledging data
as a first class output in any investigative process. Data citation offers multiple benefits, such as supporting proper attribution
and credit to those producing the data, facilitating data discovery, supporting tracking the impact and reuse of data, allowing for
collaboration and re-use of data, and enabling the reproducibility of results based on the data.
