Problem statement

Should dcat:prev and dcat:next be updated when a dataset in the serie is revised ?

Let’s consider example 38

ex:budget a dcat:DatasetSeries ;
  dcterms:title "Budget data"@en ;
  .
  
ex:budget-2018 a dcat:Dataset ;
  dcterms:title "Budget data for year 2018"@en ;
  dcat:inSeries ex:budget ;
  dcterms:issued "2019-01-01"^^xsd:date ;
  dcat:next ex:budget-2019 ;
  .
  
ex:budget-2019 a dcat:Dataset ;
  dcterms:title "Budget data for year 2019"@en ;
  dcat:inSeries ex:budget ;
  dcterms:issued "2020-01-01"^^xsd:date ;
  dcat:prev ex:budget-2018 ;
  dcat:next ex:budget-2020 ;
  .
  
ex:budget-2020 a dcat:Dataset ;
  dcterms:title "Budget data for year 2020"@en ;
  dcat:inSeries ex:budget ;
  dcterms:issued "2021-01-01"^^xsd:date ;
  dcat:prev ex:budget-2019 ;
  .

Now let’s consider that budget-2019 is revised with a new dataset budget-2019-rev1

Dataserie can be updated in different ways

• budget-2019-rev1 can replace budget-2019 in the serie
  • As a consequence budget-2018 and budget-2020 have to be updated for dcat:next / dcat:prev fields
• budget-2019-rev1 can be inserted in the Dataserie in between budget-2019 and budget-2020
  • As a consequence, budget-2019 and budget-2020 have to be updated for dcat:next / dcat:prev fields
• No update to the dataserie.
  • When encountering a dataset is a serie, one must check if a new version is available for this dataset.
• budget-2019 is turned into a Dataserie and holds budget-2019-rev0 and budget-2019-rev1
  • This seems to be over engineering here

What will be the recommendation?
