Dataset

• CURIE: gmeow:Dataset
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/Dataset
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/documents
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A collection of data published as a unit. A specialization of gmeow:Work.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Work

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Dataset as a specialized kind of gmeow:Work. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a data collection published as a citable unit — a research dataset, statistical release, or open-data corpus at the gmeow:Work tier.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for an ongoing ordered stream of feed items (use gmeow:DataFeed) and avoid it for a single downloadable file of the dataset (that is a gmeow:Manifestation / distribution).

How to use

• Type the dataset gmeow:Dataset, carry its DOI on gmeow:identifier and gmeow:hasTitle / bibliographic dates; expose concrete download files as gmeow:Manifestation carriers bearing gmeow:mediaType.

Examples

• ex:census a gmeow:Dataset; gmeow:hasTitle ex:censusTitle; gmeow:identifier "doi:10.5061/dryad.xyz".
