Re: Google's dataset publication guidelines

Hi all,

in this context: FWIW, we publish (and regularly update) schema.org <http://schema.org/> metadata for 250+ open data portals at:

http://data.wu.ac.at/schema/ <http://data.wu.ac.at/schema/>

DCAT can also be obtained via our API:

http://data.wu.ac.at/portalwatch/api <http://data.wu.ac.at/portalwatch/api> 

hopefully useful (for the moment, since the API is still a bit beta, we'd appreciate if you'd directly contact us before attempting to crawl the API, we can also provide dumps)

best regards & feedback welcome,
Axel

Note that JSON-LD is one (and preferred) way of accompanying the metadata for a dataset which can be in schema.org <http://schema.org/> or W3C's DCAT.
