Re: Invitation for public review of DCAT-AP

Phil,

I enjoyed reading this paper.  It is well written, concise, and well
structured.  But it reads more like a glossary of terms than a description
of how a standard works, can be used, and implemented.  I wish the paper
offered living examples of how DCAT-AP would work in real life - to give
readers themselves more context about the standard and its impact on data.

Thanks for sharing Makx!


Best Regards,

Steve

Thanks Makx,

It will be particularly interesting, IMO, for the WG to study how the AP
work has handled versioning.

For those who prefer URLs of the relevant documents rather than having
to look for them on the portal, they are:

The draft spec (PDF)

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/system/files/project/dcat-ap_revision_draft_5_v0.05.pdf



Or in docx

across data portals in Europe, thus making it easier to find public sector
datasets across borders and sectors.
