DataContext

A DataContext carries additional information about the shape, content, and identity of a Data object or a selected fragment within one. In this repository it is its own ARC Core type and keeps the Datamap vocabulary instead of reusing Annotation fields.

Reference: ARC Datamap RO-Crate Profile
