+ <p>DCAT is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between data catalogs published on the Web. This document defines the schema and provides examples for its use.</p>
+ <p>By using DCAT to describe datasets in data catalogs, publishers increase discoverability and enable applications easily to consume metadata from multiple catalogs. It further enables decentralized publishing of catalogs and facilitates federated dataset search across sites. Aggregated DCAT metadata can serve as a manifest file to facilitate digital preservation.</p>

+<p>Data can come in many formats, ranging from spreadsheets over XML and RDF to various speciality formats. DCAT does not make any assumptions about the format of the datasets described in a catalog. Other, complementary vocabularies may be used together with DCAT to provide more detailed format-specific information. For example, properties from the VoID vocabulary [<cite><a href="#bib-void" class="bibref">void</a></cite>] can be used to express various statistics about a DCAT-described dataset if that dataset is in RDF format.</p>
+<p>This document does not prescribe any particular method of deploying data expressed in DCAT. DCAT is applicable in many contexts including RDF accessible via SPARQL endpoints, embedded in HTML pages as RDFa, or serialized as e.g. RDF/XML or Turtle. The examples in this document use Turtle simply because of Turtle's readability.</p>

+<!--OddPage--><h2 role="heading" aria-level="1" id="overview"><span class="secno">4. </span>Vocabulary Overview</h2><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+<p>DCAT is an RDF vocabulary well-suited to representing government data catalogs such as <a href="http://Data.gov">Data.gov</a> and <a href="http://data.gov.uk">data.gov.uk</a>. DCAT defines three main classes:</p>
+<ul><li> <code><a href="#Class:_Catalog">dcat:Catalog</a></code> represents the catalog
+</li><li> <code><a href="#Class:_Dataset">dcat:Dataset</a></code> represents a dataset in a catalog.
+</li><li> <code><a href="#Class:_Distribution">dcat:Distribution</a></code> represents an accessible form of a dataset as for example a downloadable file, an RSS feed or a web service that provides the data.
+</li></ul>
+<p>
+Notice that a dataset in DCAT
+is defined as a "collection of data, published or curated by a single agent, and available for access or
+download in one or more formats". A dataset does not have to be available as a downloadable file.
+For example, a dataset that is available via an API can be defined as an instance of dcat:Dataset and the
+API can be defined as an instance of dcat:Distribution. DCAT itself does not define properties specific to APIs description.
+These are considered out of the scope of this version of the vocabulary. Nevertheless, this can be defined as a profile of the DCAT vocabulary.
+
+</p>
+<p>Another important class in DCAT is <code><a href="#Class:_Catalog_record">dcat:CatalogRecord</a></code> which describes a dataset entry in the catalog. Notice that while dcat:Dataset represents the dataset itself, dcat:CatalogRecord represents the record that describes a dataset in the catalog. The use of the CatalogRecord is considered optional. It is used to capture provenance information about dataset entries in a catalog. If this distinction is not necessary then CatalogRecord can be safely ignored.</p>
+
+<p><img alt="UML model of DCAT classes and properties" src="dcat-model.jpg"></p>
+<p>All RDF examples in this document are written in Turtle syntax [<cite><a href="#bib-turtle" class="bibref">turtle</a></cite>].</p>
+<section id="basic-example" rel="bibo:Chapter" resource="#ref" typeof="bibo:Chapter">
+<h3 role="heading" aria-level="2" id="example"><span class="secno">4.1 </span>Basic Example</h3>
+<p>This example provides a quick overview of how DCAT might be used to represent a government catalog and its datasets. </p>
+
+<p>First, the catalog description:
+</p>
+<pre> :catalog
+ a dcat:Catalog ;
+ dct:title "Imaginary Catalog" ;
+ rdfs:label "Imaginary Catalog" ;
+ foaf:homepage <http://example.org/catalog> ;
+ dct:publisher :transparency-office ;
+ dct:language <http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-1/en> ;
+ dcat:dataset :dataset-001 , :dataset-002 , :dataset-003 ;
+ .
+</pre>
+<p>The publisher of the catalog has the relative URI :transparency-office. Further description of the publisher can be provided as in the following example:
+</p>
+<pre> :transparency-office
+ a foaf:Organization ;
+ rdfs:label "Transparency Office" ;
+ .
+</pre>
+<p>The catalog lists each of its datasets via dcat:dataset property. In the example above, an example dataset was mentioned with the relative URI :dataset-001. A possible description of it using DCAT is shown below:
+</p>
+<pre> :dataset-001
+ a dcat:Dataset ;
+ dct:title "Imaginary dataset" ;
+ dcat:keyword "accountability","transparency" ,"payments" ;
+ dct:issued "2011-12-05"^^xsd:date ;
+ dct:modified "2011-12-05"^^xsd:date ;
+ dcat:contactPoint <http://example.org/transparency-office/contact> ;
+ dct:temporal <http://reference.data.gov.uk/id/quarter/2006-Q1> ;
+ dct:spatial <http://www.geonames.org/6695072> ;
+ dct:publisher :finance-ministry ;
+ dct:language <http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-1/en> ;
+ dct:accrualPeriodicity <http://purl.org/linked-data/sdmx/2009/code#freq-W> ;
+ dcat:distribution :dataset-001-csv ;
+ .
+</pre>
+
+<p>In order to express frequency of update in the example above, we chose to use an instance from the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/#dsd-cog">Content-Oriented Guidelines</a> developed as part
+of the <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> Data Cube Vocabulary efforts. Additionally, we chose to describe the spatial and temporal coverage of the example dataset using URIs from <a href="http://www.geonames.org/">Geonames</a> and <a href="http://reference.data.gov.uk/id/interval">the Interval dataset</a> from data.gov.uk, respectively. A contact point is also provided where comments and feedback about the dataset can be sent. Further details about the contact point, such as email address or telephone number, can be provided using VCard [<cite><a href="#bib-vcard-rdf" class="bibref">vcard-rdf</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<p>The dataset distribution :dataset-001-csv can be downloaded as a 5Kb CSV file. This information is
+represented via an RDF resource of type dcat:Distribution.
+</p>
+<pre> :dataset-001-csv
+ a dcat:Distribution ;
+ dcat:downloadURL <http://www.example.org/files/001.csv> ;
+ dct:title "CSV distribution of imaginary dataset 001" ;
+ dcat:mediaType "text/csv" ;
+ dcat:byteSize "5120"^^xsd:decimal ;
+ .

+<h3 role="heading" aria-level="2" id="example-classification"><span class="secno">4.2 </span>Classifying datasets</h3>
+<p>The catalog classifies its datasets according to a set of domains represented by the relative URI :themes. SKOS can be used to describe the domains used:
+</p>
+<pre> :catalog dcat:themeTaxonomy :themes .
+</pre>
+
+<pre> :themes
+ a skos:ConceptScheme ;
+ skos:prefLabel "A set of domains to classify documents" ;
+ .
+</pre>
+
+<pre> :dataset-001 dcat:theme :accountability .
+</pre>
+<p>Notice that this dataset is classified under the domain represented by the relative URI :accountability.
+It is recommended to define the concept as part of the concepts scheme identified by the URI :themes that was used to describe the catalog domains. An example SKOS description:
+</p>
+<pre> :accountability
+ a skos:Concept ;
+ skos:inScheme :themes ;
+ skos:prefLabel "Accountability" ;
+ .
+</pre>

+<h3 role="heading" aria-level="2" id="example-catalog-record"><span class="secno">4.3 </span>Describing catalog records metadata</h3>
+<p>If the catalog publisher decides to keep metadata
+describing its records (i.e. the records containing metadata
+describing the datasets), dcat:CatalogRecord can be used. For example,
+while :dataset-001 was issued on 2011-12-05, its description on Imaginary Catalog was added on 2011-12-11. This can be represented by DCAT as in the following:
+</p>
+<pre> :catalog dcat:record :record-001 .
+</pre>
+
+<pre> :record-001
+ a dcat:CatalogRecord ;
+ foaf:primaryTopic :dataset-001 ;

+<p>:dataset-002 is available as a CSV file. However :dataset-002 can only be obtained through some Web page
+where the user needs to click some links, provide some information and check some boxes

+<p>On the other hand, :dataset-003 can be obtained through some landing page but also can be downloaded from a known URL.

<p>DCAT is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between data catalogs published on the Web. This document defines the schema and provides examples for its use.</p>
<p>By using DCAT to describe datasets in data catalogs, publishers increase discoverability and enable applications easily to consume metadata from multiple catalogs. It further enables decentralized publishing of catalogs and facilitates federated dataset search across sites. Aggregated DCAT metadata can serve as a manifest file to facilitate digital preservation.</p>

+ <p>DCAT incorporates terms from pre-existing vocabularies, where stable terms with appropriate meanings could be found, such as foaf:homepage and dct:title. Informal summary definitions of these terms are included here for convenience, while complete definitions are available in the provided authoritative references. Changes to definitions in those references, if any, will supersede the summaries given in this specification.
