Policy for translations in the RDF of DCAT

[riccardoAlbertoni]

We need to agree on an internal policy on dealing with translations in the DCAT RDF.

It is not always possible to provide a proper translation for all the languages during the DCAT updates. And asking for translation for different languages during the process slows down PR's acceptance, imposing complex interactions between contributors.

I'd suggest maintaining only the English text while defining the specification and deal with the update of translations when we reach the CR or PR stage.

Does this sound like a reasonable strategy?

[andrea-perego]

Makes perfect sense to me.

[agbeltran]

I agree this is a good approach.

[riccardoAlbertoni]

The resolution voted during the last DCAT call says that "we accept a policy of deciding on the best efforts we will provide to translations when we get to the CR stage".

[agbeltran]

should we close this or we need to make this clarification somewhere else?
