Using DCAT (Data Catalogue Vocabulary) to support metadata catalogue integration

Official page: https://www.fairsfair.eu/events/webin...

Increasing the findability of data is crucial for realising a FAIR ecosystem in which shared research data can be accessed, reused, and cited. Metadata catalogues play a central role in making individual repository holdings visible to aggregator services. However, integrating metadata catalogues is hindered by a lack of common standards. This webinar will provide an overview of Data Catalogue Vocabulary (DCAT) and demonstrate its potential role in supporting catalogue integration. DCAT is a W3C standard that was initially oriented towards governmental data but has been extended to cover research data. DCAT v3 is the latest version, and a summary of the changes will be provided during the webinar.
