RE: Fwd: using DCAT for scraped data

Yes, looks like a well thought out use case.

Forwarding to the Dataset Exchange WG [1], recently launched, which is
chartered to work on DCAT. This may be a use case.

Dear All,

I'm writing from an Hackaton at the Open Data Fest 2017
(opendatafest.it)  in Sicily. We are building an ontology of Albo POP
(http://albopop.it) using DCAT and its specialization DCAT_ap_it.
Roughly speaking, an Albo POP is an automated tool which provides an RSS
feed a set of notices and advices from a Public Administration (usually
a municipality) by scraping the notices from the web site of the Public
Administration itself.

We model using dcat the RSS feed we provide as a distribution, but we
would like to make explicit that the data come from the public
administration. We adopted the followings:

a) put the notices web page of the public administration by using the
source property of the dublin core terms  vocabulary, attached to the
datase;

b) as rights Holder we specify the municipality and

c) as publisher we indicate the developer who created the scaper which
converts the notices page to RSS.

An example is attached to this mail.

We would like to know if this approach may be considered acceptable. Any
suggestion is welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Cristiano Longo
