Comments: The VA model adopts the W3C HCLS DataSet Model view that DataSets can be considered and described at three levels: - The 'Summary' level considers the Data Set at the most abstract/general level, independent of a specific version or format. - The 'Version' level considers a specific version of a Data Set, which may acquire version-specific characteristics (e.g. a release date). - The 'Distribution' level considers a specific format/encoding of a dataset version, which may acquire distribution-specific characteristics (e.g. a format, or downloadURL). Attributes defined for the DataSet class may apply at all or only some of the ‘levels’ described above. Guidance in this regard is provided in comments on each attribute, and should be followed when creating DataSet objects.
