Maybe this was already covered in this thread, but DCAT and Eurovoc are complementary, not competing technologies. For example you could use dcat:theme [1] to reference a SKOS concept in Eurovoc. I was going to give an example, but it appears that you can't download the SKOS XML without being a registered user (which I couldn't figure out how to do). Also, it looks like the licensing around Eurovoc doesn't appear to be particularly "open" [2]. It would be great to see some demonstrations of using a thesaurus like Eurovoc to provide cross-repository topical views of datasets. If anyone has seen anything like that (using Eurovoc or another thesaurus) I would greatly appreciate a pointer. //Ed [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#property--theme-category [2] http://eurovoc.europa.eu/drupal/?q=legalnotice&cl=en
