knowledge sharing approach: DCAT/DCAT-AP

[HendrikBorgelt]

This issue is associated with the charter epic #4.

What cross-domain knowledge sharing approach does this issue address?

DCAT & DCAT-AP
--> An overview was given in meeting

What further steps are needed to be taken or discussed by/in our WG regarding this issue?

As an example of how to extend DCAT-AP was given in the presentation of the respective meeting, discussions around the exact extension and on the adoption by multiple NFDI Consortia must follow.

1. Discussions on how to extend and how to use the extension of DCAT-AP for NFDI cross-domain knowledge sharing

• If somebody is interested in having a more in-depth discussion, please respond with a comment on this issue or send an email to [email protected]. A meeting date will then be discussed with all those who responded in the next two weeks.

3. Create a list of Consortia that want to contribute and possibly adopt a knowledge-sharing approach based on DCAT/DCAT-AP

@joshmoore, @hgoerzig, @magelm, @StroemPhi I already added you to my list of interested people. Since I don't have your mailing address of all of you, I would appreciate it if you could either post it in this comment or write me a short email to [email protected]

In the 8th of May meeting we also agreed that hearing from the CDIF folks about their recommendations on using DCAT/-AP will be a necessary input for us. Which will hopefully happen this June. So this issue is related to #14

I suggest that in preparation, it makes sense to collect all mapping use cases as well as already available mappings, and crosswalks to/from DCAT/-AP in this repo (maybe in a dedicated subfolder of mapping). E.g. I put the official DCAT-Schema.org mapping from W3C already here: https://github.com/nfdi-de/section-metadata-wg-onto/blob/main/mapping/dcat-schema.ttl.

I think that it would be great to have example scripts (e.g. Jupyter notebooks) that use these collected mappings to solve common use cases, e.g. converting schema.org- or Datacite-based metadata of a dataset into a DCAT-AP validated RDF graph.
