[cat-interop] Call for public review of GeoDCAT-AP

[ana.fernandez.de.soria.risco at be.pwc.com]

Dear Sir or Madam, 

You are kindly invited to review the working group draft of the GeoDCAT 
Application Profile, an extension of the DCAT application profile 
(DCAT-AP) for describing geospatial datasets, dataset series, and 
services.
GeoDCAT-AP provides an RDF syntax binding for the union of metadata 
elements defined in the core profile of ISO 19115:2003 and those defined 
in the framework of the INSPIRE Directive.

The GeoDCAT-AP specification can be downloaded from:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/139283#Distributions

The specification is accompanied by an XSLT script, which allows the 
automated conversion of ISO 19139 metadata records into GeoDCAT-AP format
https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/CITnet/stash/projects/ODCKAN/repos/iso-19139-to-dcat-ap/ 


The public review period will last until 30 August 2015.

Please submit your feedback by sending comments and suggestions to the 
GeoDCAT-AP mailing list: dcat_application_profile-geo at joinup.ec.europa.eu. 
The feedback received will be discussed by the GeoDCAT-AP Working Group in 
early September. Final publication of application profile is foreseen for 
October 2015.

The full text of the call is available from Joinup:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/144506/ 

The intended use case of GeoDCAT-AP is to make spatial datasets, data 
series, and services searchable on general data portals, thereby making 
geospatial information better searchable across borders and sectors. This 
can be achieved by the exchange of descriptions of data sets among data 
portals using a common exchange format.

GeoDCAT-AP has been developed in the context of Action 1.1 ? Improving 
semantic interoperability in European eGovernment systems of the European 
Commission?s Interoperability Solutions for European Public 
Administrations (ISA) programme. The DCAT-AP is a joint initiative of four 
Directorates-General of the European Commission: the Joint Research 
Centre, DG DIGIT (ISA Programme), DG CONNECT and the Publications Office 
of the EU. 

Looking forward to receiving your feedback.
Ana Fernández de Soria
- On behalf of the ISA Programme
