DataDownload

The schema.org type for one downloadable file of a dataset, with its URL, encodingFormat (CSV, JSON) and size. A Dataset lists one per file so a reader or crawler can fetch the data without scraping the page.

What DataDownload does not show

It names where the file is; it does not promise the file is reachable, so a DataDownload pointing at a dead URL is a broken promise a crawler will find.
