Announcement of OGC Working Group on GeoDCAT: https://www.ogc.org/press-release/ogc-forms-new-geodcat-standards-working-group/
Outline of this topic
Some information is not domain-specific
Consistent across domains/”universal” standards
Time, geography (?), ubiquitous classifications (species, periodic table, etc.)
Understanding where a “lingua franca” such as CDIF is needed, and where it is not, is important in providing guidance to adopters. This group will explore where these limitations are, and the implications for interoperability across domain boundaries.
Status:
Not yet fully explored
Impact may be on drafts of specific CDIF functions
May be stand-alone guidance
Suggest deliverables
Guidance around describing the geographical information in a data set
Geo-DCAT is a good starting point
Guidance around the treatment of time
Guidance around Units of Measure
DRUM is a good starting point
Other “universals”?
