Description
The definition of CatalogRecord/conformsTo is
"An established standard to which the described resource conforms."
https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Property:record_conforms_to
The usage note says:
"This property SHOULD be used to indicate the model, schema, ontology, view or profile that the catalog record metadata conforms to."
The usage note makes more sense. The definition seems to be an erroneous copy of the definition of CataloguedResource/conformsTo (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Property:resource_conforms_to) - where it does make sense.
Note, European Commission / SEMIC DCAT maps ISO 19115 MD_Metadata.standardName to catalogRecord/conformsTo, which makes logical sense but does not fit the current DCAT documentation. https://semiceu.github.io/GeoDCAT-AP/releases/3.0.0/#metadata-standard-name-metadata-standard-version
Suggestion: change the definition at https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Property:record_conforms_to to "An established standard to which the catalog record conforms."
