-    <p>DCAT is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between data catalog published on the Web. DCAT emerged from the W3C <a href="http://www.w3.org/egov/">eGov</a> Interest Group and W3C <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/">Government Linked Data</a> (GLD) Working Group but can be used for any entity publishing catalog of datasets.</p>
-    <p>DCAT was conceived with the following benefits in mind:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Embedded metadata in catalog web pages increases data "findability," enables decentralised publishing of catalogs, and facilitates federated dataset search across sites</li>
-<li>A uniform catalog vocabulary provides a basis for one-click download and installation of data packages
-<br /> @@@ TODO.jse: I don't understand why this point is important! @@@
-</li>
-<li>Aggregated DCAT metadata can serve as a manifest file to faciliate digital preservation</li>
-<li>A uniform metadata model enables applications to be built once and work with multiple catalog</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This document defines the RDF schema for DCAT and provides examples for its use.</p>

+  <p>DCAT is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between data catalogs published on the Web. This document defines the schema and provides examples for its use.</p>
+  <p>By using DCAT to describe datasets in data catalogs, publishers increase discoverability and enable applications easily to consume metadata from multiple catalogs. It further enables decentralized publishing of catalogs and facilitates federated dataset search across sites. Aggregated DCAT metadata can serve as a manifest file to facilitate digital preservation.</p>
