 For example, a dataset that is available via an API can be defined as an instance of dcat:Dataset and the  
 API can be defined as an instance of dcat:Distribution. DCAT itself does not define properties specific to APIs description.

 <p>Another important class in DCAT is <code><a href="#Class:_Catalog_record">dcat:CatalogRecord</a></code> which describes a dataset entry in the catalog. Notice that while dcat:Dataset represents the dataset itself, dcat:CatalogRecord represents the record that describes a dataset in the catalog. The use of the CatalogRecord is considered optional. It is used to capture provenance information about dataset entries in a catalog. If this distinction is not necessary then CatalogRecord can be safely ignored.</p>
