What does distribution mean?

A downloadable form of this dataset, at a specific location, in a specific format. This property can be repeated if different variations are available. There is no expectation that different downloadable distributions must contain exactly equivalent information (see also [DCAT](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Class:Distribution) on this point). Different distributions might include or exclude different subsets of the entire dataset, for example.

Used on types (domainIncludes)

Expected value types (rangeIncludes)

Schema.org domainIncludes and rangeIncludes are descriptive guidance, not strict validation prohibitions. Check the official reference for updates.
