Agenda

The main goal is to build a common & generic DCAT2 plugin that can be used as a basis for extensions and custom profiles.

Main challenges:

• Agree on base XSD (and check capacity to extend it - eg. cardinality changes, new elements, ...?)
• Define which RDF encoding(s) to supports (eg. @rdf:resources or skos:Concept)
• Create simple editor configuration
• Support multilingual records
• Define usage of thesaurus and/or subtemplates (for keyword, license, formats, ... ?)
• Define I/O formats/mapping required

Development

• Development done in https://github.com/metadata101/dcat2
• GeoNetwork branch to work with https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/5616 and register dcat2 schema using
