Hi all, We will have Richard Cyganiak (DERI, NUI Galway) as special guest to talk about dcat <http://vocab.deri.ie/dcat> and I'm sure this will foster discussion around the data catalogues topic. In order to ensure enough time for discussion, I'm scheduling this bit to start at 9:50ET. Talk details are in the agenda below. Richard will submit slides to this list in advance of the meeting. Thanks again to Richard for spending some time with us. Project coordinators: I hope you cold also join as I'd like to hear short updates on project activities. All: a lot to discuss, please try to be punctual. Also, need a volunteer to scribe *asap*.

Discussion on data catalogues [40min] Special guest: Richard Cyganiak (DERI, NUI Galway) Talk title: dcat: An RDF Schema vocabulary for interoperability of government data catalogues Summary: Opening public sector information has recently become a trend in many countries around the world. Online government data catalogues with national, regional or local scope act as one-stop data portals providing description of available government datasets. These catalogues though remain isolated. Potential benefits from federating geographically overlapping or thematically complementary catalogues are not realized. We propose an RDF Schema vocabulary as an interchange format among data catalogues and as a way of bringing them into the Web of Linked Data, where they can enjoy interoperability among themselves and with other deployed datasets. The vocabulary’s design was informed by a survey of seven data catalogues from five different countries, and has been verified by unifying four data catalogues to allow cross-catalogue queries and browsing.
