Issue raised at http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/release/dcat-application-profile-data-portals-europe-final-draft#comment-14632
For Distribution an optional property called limitation describing any known limitation of the distribution for example if the distribution is only temporarily available or if it’s a part in a series that will be discontinued. To facilitate interoperability the ADMS Status vocabulary could be used, especially if it was extended with concepts for temporary and planned withdrawals of datasets. (http://purl.org/adms/status/1.0).

Consideration
Adding an optional property adms:status does not affect the conformance statement. The proposal to add additional status terms to the ADMS status vocabulary cannot be resolved by the DCAT-AP WG. That proposal will be forwarded to the maintainers of that vocabulary if the addition of the property is agreed by the WG.
Proposed resolution
Add optional property to Distribution
Proposed action
Update specification, adding the optional class Status (skos:Concept) to section 6.2, adding optional property adms:status to Distribution in section 7.4.3, and adding the property to the list in section 8.2 referring to the ADMS status vocabulary.
Resolved at meeting 18 July 2013, see report at https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/document/dcat-application-profile-wg-virtual-meeting-2013-07-18.
