<h2>Data citation</h2>

<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#RDSC">Dataset citation</a> is one of the requirements identified for the DCAT revision.
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#RDSC">Dataset citation</a> is one of the requirements identified for this 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.
</p>

<p>
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.
To support data citation, the dataset description should include at a minimum: the dataset identifier, the dataset creator(s), the dataset title,
the dataset publisher and the dataset publication or release date. These elements are those required by the DataCite metadata schema [[?DataCite]],
which is the metadata associated by the persistent identifiers (Digital Object Identifiers or DOIs) assigned by [[?DataCite]] to research data.
</p>

<p>
The constraints on the availability of such properties in the dataset description can be represented as a DCAT data citation profile.
In order to support data citation, this DCAT revision has added the consideration of <a href="#Dereferenceable-identifiers">dereferenceable identifiers</a> and support for indicating
<a href="#Property:resource_creator">the creators of the catalogued resources</a>. The remaining properties necessary for data citation were already available in DCAT 2014 [[?VOCAB-DCAT-20140116]].
