Why Is This Important?

The property (attributes and values pairs) links on this page unveil a different kind of link, one which enables the following on HTTP networks such as the Web:

Unambiguous identity for entities (aka. strong identifiers)

Implicit binding of an entity and its metadata via strong identifiers

Multiple metadata representations that enable a variety of presentations

High precision Search and Find queries that simply use the metadata documents (by referencing entity URIs) as the query's Data Source Name

How Do I Discover Alternative Metadata Representations?

This document exposes metadata in the following formats: (X)HTML+RDFa, Turtle, N3, RDF/JSON, or RDF/XML. In the most basic form, you can simply view the (X)HTML source markup of this page, and go directly to the <head/> section which contains a <link/> tag with relationship and type properties for each format.

In addition, you can also explicitly request a desired metadata representation for a given resource via HTTP GET requests that use the entity's strong identifier as the call target.

Description	Schema.org Property: maintainer - A maintainer of a Dataset, software package (SoftwareApplication), or other Project. A maintainer is a Person or Organization that manages contributions to, and/or publication of, some (typically complex) artifact. It is common for distributions of software and data to be based on "upstream" sources. When maintainer is applied to a specific version of something e.g. a particular version or packaging of a Dataset, it is always possible that the upstream source has a different maintainer. The isBasedOn property can be used to indicate such relationships between datasets to make the different maintenance roles clear. Similarly in the case of software, a package may have dedicated maintainers working on integration into software distributions such as Ubuntu, as well as upstream maintainers of the underlying work.
