<div class="elementToProof">I'd like to check that there is a consistent definition for what we label as a schema:Dataset. Schema.org defined it as "<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A
body of structured information describing some topic(s) of interest" (https://schema.org/Dataset). In line with this, RO-Crate seems to use Dataset as a container for one or more Files via schema:hasPart (e.g. https://www.researchobject.org/ro-crate/specification/1.2/introduction.html).
Science on Schema.org doesn't provide a definition at <a href="https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org/blob/main/guides/Dataset.md">
https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org/blob/main/guides/Dataset.md</a>, but my reading is that it expects a Dataset to be a file that contains PropertyValues.</span></div>

Based on RO-Crate usage, I've been expecting to use schema:Dataset to describe the set of data, metadata and other files I expect to store together as the RO-Crate. I have also expected to use Dataset to delimit subsets of the RO-Crate that merit describing
as self-contained subunits worth describing separately. This would mean that a simple RO-Crate would be a Dataset and that it would have multiple Files as parts. A more complicated RO-Crate would be a Dataset that has multiple Files and Datasets as parts (with
the nested Datasets themselves having Files as parts). Based on this interpretation, most Datasets have a one-to-one relationship with a Folder.</div>

Does this align with the expectations of other groups interested in CDIF? In short, is a schema:Dataset 1) a collection of Files representing the results of a study or 2) a File that contains PropertyValues (using e.g. CSV, NetCDF, HDF5, ...)?</div>
