Transformation: namespaces and standards

[hallinpihlatie]

All HVD metadata example files that I can find for example on the European Data Portal contain the dcatap namespace (xmlns:dcatap="http://data.europa.eu/r5r/") to refer to hvdCategory and applicativeLegislation.

Namespace xmlns:geodcatap="http://data.europa.eu/930/" and xmlns:dcat="http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#" are added by the transformation when using the "extended" alternative. The http://data.europa.eu/930/ also becomes the standard.

When using the "core" alternative of the transformation for example for service metadata, then the http://data.europa.eu/r5r/ is added as a namespace and standard.

Does the # in the end of http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat# mean that the dcatap http://data.europa.eu/r5r/ also is supported/included? Or is the intention to use and finetune the "core" only for HVD-reporting purposes in the pilot?

If not, would it make sense to alter the transformation so that it always adds both xmlns:geodcatap="http://data.europa.eu/930/" and xmlns:dcatap="http://data.europa.eu/r5r/ at least as namespaces but perhaps also as a standard as references to dcatap seems might be needed when adding elements required for HVD-reporting.
