Resolution proposed by Andrea Perego:
In ISO 19115, element “Spatial representation type” is meant mainly to describe the “method used to represent geographic information in the dataset”, by using a code list (see the table below).
The ADMS vocabulary includes a property, namely, adms:representationTechnique that could be used for this purpose. It is worth noting that, in the ADMS specification, adms:representationTechnique decribes a distribution, and not the dataset. Moreover, the ISO 19115 code list of spatial representation types might be in the future available as a URI register from the INSPIRE Registry.
The tentative proposal is to use adms:representationTechnique, with the spatial representation type URIs that will be operated by the INSPIRE Registry.
The final decision needs however to be aligned with DCAT-AP 2.0, where similar issues are under discussion.
