Re: Agenda for tomorrow - and introduction

Dear All,

My apologies for the late notice - I've try to work around my bank holiday
schedule, but it looks like it won't be feasible.

As expressed in previous calls, I'm very interested in having a strong
contribution to DCAT (helping out as an editor would certainly be a great
experience, but I understand that this might be an oversubscribed job, so
I'd gladly leave it to members who can attend the call).

I'm in particular interested in making DCAT more useful to data consumers
especially through:
  1- Having a more granular representation of a dataset and its content,
including simple data categorisations no only into domains, but also
according to the characteristics of the data (temporal, spatial, etc.)
  2- Including granular relationships between datasets (similarly to Rob's
point) that can tell more about how they where produced and how they can be
exploited.

On point 2, we did with colleagues from The Open University some work
leading to the an ontology of relations between datasets (Datanode, see
[1]). While this is probably too complex to be integrated as is, I believe
that there are some ideas there that could be reused (see [2,3]).

Many Thanks!
Mathieu.
