StatDCAT-AP entered its public review period on 30 August 2016, lasted until 31 October 2016. During that period twenty issues from five bodies (the National Statistics Institutes of France and Norway, Open Data Portal in the Czech Republic, the Permanent Representation of Denmark to the European Union and the Ministry of Finance of Brazil) were submitted on the draft version 4. Following the methodology, all the working documents were published on Joinup, and all the issues were documented in an issue tracker and discussed via a public accessible mailing list. The issues were grouped in four categories for facilitating resolution: Issues for which we propose changes (Accept/Reject). Issues for which we propose the inclusion of clarifications for implementers Issues that need further work (outside the scope at the time being). Additional issues/errors that will be corrected (editorial issues, typos). All the issues were discussed during the last meeting of the working group, and after reaching consensus amongst the members of the working group on their resolution, all the changes and updates were applied in the Final version of StatDCAT-AP.

Issue Description Proposed resolution Final resolution Definition & label of property The property is defined as "unit of measurement" not as SDMX/Data Cube ‘measure‘. Rename statMeasure to statUnitMeasure. Add a property that is equivalent with SDMX/Data Cube measure. Accepted proposed resolution. Consider adding 'measure' property for future revisions of StatDCAT-AP Property on Distribution The property is a characteristic of the Dataset and applies to all Distributions. Define the property on Distribution to different Distributions to use different units of measurement Rejected proposed resolution. Add a clarification that attributes, dimensions and measures are ‘conceptual’ entities that apply to all distribution formats, e.g. in case a dataset is provided both in SDMX and in Data Cube, and therefore fit better on the Dataset level. Properties and on RDF Distribution On RDF Distribution stat:dimension and stat:attribute could replaced by link to Use dct:conformsTo to link to qb:DataStructureDefinition instead of stat:dimension and stat:attribute for RDF Distributions Rejected proposed resolution. Add clarification that using the stat properties for all types of distributions preserves coherence across formats; a RDF distribution may use dct:conformsTo in addition.
