I would propose to use the follow up meeting at 2 pm to form a kind of “Openmod Working Group” on the topic of this common data format. If the proposal is accepted we should find a way to organize the group in terms of infrastructure, governance etc…
See this post for a general discussion on “Openmod Working Groups”:
we were working on the metadata topic and after including tons of feedback, wishes and requirements we have a multi-purpose metadata datapackage pre-release-version (v1.4-pre) as JSON.
The next step is to create a DCAT-AP conform version that can be used with the ontology and a translator that converts between the easy JSON and the not-so-easy RDF-TTL.
Is anybody familiar with DCAT-AP and is able to support?
Feel free to comment and test the pre-version and I hope this is a next step to create and use an universal ‘energy datapackage’.
@ludwig.huelk Great work. I particularly agree with the separation of contributors and copyright notices. A couple of overarching points though:
A set of definitions might be useful? As an example: a contributor is the person who originally collected, measured, or observed the data and/or subsequently curated the data.
Are the individual feedback comments and responses available somewhere? It would seem sensible to record these so that those not directly involved can gain insight into the design decisions being made.
How does this align with similar work by the OPSD team? Are they in agreement with this v1.4 release?
I cannot help with the DCAT stuff though. But good luck anyway.
There will be metadata web interface (GUI) with detailed descriptions and examples.
The contributions were discussed. From my perspective, it is not possible to differentiate between creation and modification of a data set. At what point do you draw the line? The contributions section is more a changelog of the data and metadata. So we added the object (data/metadata) to indicate if a contribution was made in the data itself (e.g., add a new column) or a major change in the metadata (e.g., grant an open license).
add section contextdiscussion
** add homepage
** add documentation
** add source_code
** add contact (person)
This section is new and should improve the link to a the code/model/project that generated the data. In the last version (v1.3) this was stored as different kind of sources. I would like your feedback and ideas on this!
add object (data/metadata) in contributors section
add path and profile (tabular-data-resource) in section resources
add a _metadata_license (CC0)
Include _comments like formats
Minor changes in order to be valid datapackage. There is a Jupyter Notebook to test stings.
