1. we have some very basic pieces in schema.org for talking about
datasets, more or less inspired by DCAT and related RDF vocabularies.
http://schema.org/Dataset and nearby.
2. W3C CSVW is complete. It defines its own basic vocab for talking
about tabular data including a medium-expressive templating system to
map tables into triples.
3. This release includes some bugfixing for problems we introduced in
2.0 (messed up a property name)

https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1083 tracks "Improving
Dataset descriptions" including notes from chatting with Natasha Noy
(cc:'d). We've also had a few discussions e.g. with folk around
https://www.elixir-europe.org/ on applying this stuff more deeply to
dataset sharing in the life sciences.

I've also been toying with ideas for describing neural net model zoos
along lines of https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Model-Zoo but that
might be a bit niche interest :)
