I am not aware of us putting this story together, something that shows the ecosystem. Perhaps we need to explain that DCAT is not a direct competitor with these other extremes 08:49:19 ack andr 08:49:25 ack AndreaPerego 08:50:02 AndreaPerego: I think that we can tell the story. The use of DCAT / DCAT-AP was to provide cross-platform, cross-domain metadata harvesting 08:51:13 https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/223 08:51:18 q+ 08:51:38 ... In the public sector there are catalogues coming from all sectors - there is a need to consistently map the standards for these systems into one for simple harvesting across administrartions 08:52:19 ... At the government level there was a driver for having an alternative to INSPIRE etc also 08:53:13 ... It was very clear with geoDCAT-AP that it was not replacing existing standards, but was providing an interoperable mapping that was consistent across administrations 08:53:54 ... I see the same issue within the research community - we have islands that need connecting 08:54:10 scribenick: PWinstanley 08:55:33 AndreaPerego: JRC works with the public sector and the research community and we see data interchange but no interoperable, compatible approach to metadata and discovery 08:57:03 ... I can provide some narrative that describes the approach (RDF and Linked Data) and the benefits. The geospatial community doesn't use global persistent identifiers. In many instances metadata is just free text (e.g. publisher is just the name - but this is provided in different ways, so we cannot easily aggregate from one provider) 08:57:17 ... The use of URIs will remove that problem 08:57:30 ... It would also enable better sharing across platforms 08:58:24 ... There was a community request seeking a solution for cross-platform metadata interoperability. DCAT is a good solution. The problem is an editor and other tooling 08:58:40 ack stijn_goedertier_AIV 08:58:46 DaveBrowning: this is the kind of information we need to give in dialogues with others 08:59:12 stijn_goedertier_AIV: I agree with AndreaPerego . The selling point of DCAT is interoperability between different communities 09:00:10 ... DCAT brings the interoperability aspect. My work with the Flemish gov is (issue 223) geospatial and EAD for archives, and also the open data community 09:01:08 ... The regional gov also want DCAT to be used as the exchange metadata format. They are building tools for using Geonetwork to edit (in XML) DCAT records 09:01:16 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 09:01:16 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2018/06/21-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 09:02:29 DaveBrowning: This sounds like we need to take AndreaPerego up on the offer of pulling together some narrative. The solution to the 223 - this is why DCAT is perfectly positioned to act as a broad cross-domain interoperability standard. 09:02:50 q+ 09:03:41 ack AndreaPerego 09:04:41 AndreaPerego: we could put this motivational text in the text discussing DCAT uses - there are examples at the beginning of the text. 09:06:06 DaveBrowning: I am concerned about the structure of the document and it's size. We don't want to end up with a doc that is too long. The end section on alignment with other standards and even quite simple alignments make the doc mushroom in size. 09:06:06 Agree the alignment section is dangerous. I see it as a separate work. 09:06:27 DaveBrowning: we need to perhaps split this off 09:06:39 q+ 09:06:47 ack andre 09:06:50 ack andre 09:06:54 ack AndreaPerego 09:07:40 AndreaPerego: I was thinking that we could publish a separate doc (working draft) for the alignment. We already have docs that were done by others that could be reused 09:08:53 Action: AndreaPerego to draft some text about the drivers for DCAT 09:08:53 Sorry, but no Tracker is associated with this channel. 09:10:00 q+ 09:10:11 ack PWinstanley 09:10:40 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 09:10:40 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2018/06/21-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 09:11:21 PWinstanley: At recent meeting, I was talking to certain people about using DCAT to bind together something 09:11:24 q+ 09:11:30 ack DaveBrowning 09:12:18 regrets+RiccardoAlbertoni, Nick Car, Simon Cox, Alejandra Gonzalez-Beltran 09:12:20 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 09:12:20 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2018/06/21-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 09:12:49 s/regrest+RiccardoAlbertoni, Nick Car, Simon Cox, Alejandra Gonzalez-Beltran// 09:12:50 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 09:12:50 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2018/06/21-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 09:13:09 PWinstanley: Binding together information assets behind decisions or new directive to act as reification - slightly different to how its been done. 09:16:35 PWinstanley: This might motivate a conversation 'in the margins' about DCAT role in organisation of information assets 09:17:05 +1 to the comment of Peter, the expanded scope of DCAT opens the door to better manage information assets throughout the public sector. It mostly need good URIs.
