.
- Added mappings for multilingual elements. More precisely, these mappings concern the following elements:
- Metadata standard name.
- Resource title, abstract, and lineage.
- Free-text keywords, keyword from controlled vocabularies, and name of originating controlled vocabularies.
- Constraints related to access and use.
- Individual / organisation name of responsible parties.
- Title and description of resource locators.
- Title of specifications referred to from conformity test results.
- Explanation of conformity test results.
- Fixed bug concerning the mappings for resource types.
- Fixed bugs concerning the mappings for responsible parties.
- Fixed bug concerning the mappings for postal addresses.
- Extended mapping of responsible parties, to (a) detect URIs for individuals and organisations, specified by using
gmx:Anchor/@xlink:href
, and (b) include additional information present in the original record - in particular, individual name, telephone, and address. - Fixed bug concerning the mapping of malformed URNs for reference systems, returning an empty string for SRID. Dropped trailing slash in the URIs of the EPSG and OGC CRS registers, and added parameters for the names of these registers.
- Editorial changes.
- Revised mapping of keywords: Even if the originating controlled vocabulary is not specified, keywords specified with HTTP URIs via
gmx:Anchor/@xlink:href
, are mapped todcat:theme
.
- Added variables storing the IDs of the GeoDCAT-AP core and extended profiles. These variables are now used instead of the actual IDs in the XSLT, whenever checks are made to identify the selected profile.
- Revised handling of coupled resources:
- Added global parameter
$CoupledResourceLookUp
to enable / disable coupled resources' lookup. - Coupled resources are looked up when (a) parameter
$CoupledResourceLookUp
is set toenabled
and (b) the value of the@xlink:href
attribute starts withhttp://
orhttps://
.
- Added global parameter
- Updated copyright year, and added contributors.
- Revised mapping of coupled resources, as per GeoDCAT-AP 1.0:
- Coupled resources are referred to by using their resource identifier, retrieved at runtime from the metadata record linked from
srv:operatesOn/@xlink:href
. - When this attribute is not specified, the XSLT verifies is the relevant part of the
gmd:MD_Identification
section is specified as child ofsrv:operatesOn
. - Otherwise, the value of attribute
srv:operatesOn/@uuidref
is used, if available. - The mapping takes also into account the coupled resource URI possibly specified with attribute
srv:operatesOn/@:uriref
. This option might be revised in the future, based on the new version of the INSPIRE Metadata Technical Guidelines.
- Coupled resources are referred to by using their resource identifier, retrieved at runtime from the metadata record linked from
- Relaxed the identification of metadata and resource languages, by considering also when specified by using
gmd:language/gco:CharacterString
. - Revised mapping of responsible party roles 'author' and 'originator', as per GeoDCAT-AP 1.0. Role 'author' is now mapped to
dct:creator
; role 'originator', originally mapped todct:creator
, is modelled only by using the PROV-based mapping.
- Fixed bug concerning the mapping of white spaces in URLs into their %-escaped encoding.
- Made the Unique Resource Identifier more generic, to match both
gmd:MD_Identifier
andgmd:RS_identifier
. - Moved coordinate and reference systems mappings to the extended profile only.
- Mapping of coupled resources tentatively revised, taking into account the use of the
@uriref
and@xlink:href
attributes. - OGC's URNs for spatial reference systems are mapped to the corresponding HTTP URIs.
- Added
dct:type
to denote a spatial reference system.
- Added missing mapping for language codes.
- Created parameters for bounding box coordinates, to be used in the supported geometry encodings.
- Fixed bug concerning metadata on metadata. The corresponding RDF snippet was generated irrespective of whether this information was included or not in the original metadata record.
- Fixed bug concerning lineage. The corresponding RDF snippet was generated irrespective of whether this information was included or not in the original metadata record.
- Fixed bug concerning resource type. The XSLT wrongly fetched the scope code from the data quality element, instead of the one specified in the hierarchy level element.
- Removed unused namespaces.
- Fixed bug concerning constraints related to access and use, when a URI/URL is not provided. The XSLT wrongly selected the content of
gmx:Anchor
instead ofgco:CharacterString
.
- Fixed bug concerning the mapping of "conformance results" (only for the extended profile). The bug caused the possible creation of multiple instance of class
prov:Activity
as objects of the same instance of propertyprov:wasUsedBy
.
- Version implementing the draft of the GeoDCAT-AP specification released for public review.
- Update frequency: replaced mappings from the relevant ISO code list to the Dublin Core frequency vocabulary with mappings to the MDR Frequency NAL, as per the current DCAT-AP specification.
- Minor fixes.
- Format: name now omitted when the format is specified with an HTTP URI.
- Metadata standard: name and version are now omitted when the standard is specified with an HTTP URI.
- Conformity specification: when specified with an HTTP URI, title and date are now omitted.
- Minor fixes and revisions.
- Replaced
rdfs:label
withdct:title
for the name of a controlled vocabulary (skos:ConceptScheme
). - Replaced
dcat:dataset
withdct:hasPart
to model coupled resources (only for the extended profile). - Added ISO 19115 code list for maintenance frequency. The URI is tentative, since that code list is not yet available via the INSPIRE Registry.
- Updated URI for spatial representation type code list.
- Minor fixes and revisions.
- Revised mapping for keywords when used for services (only for the extended profile):
dct:subject
anddc:subject
are used instead ofdcat:theme
anddcat:keyword
. - Revised mapping for "use limitations". It always maps to
dct:license
, and the free text description is omitted when an HTTP URI is provided viagmx:Anchor/@xlink:href
. - Revised mapping of keywords from controlled vocabularies: if the keyword is denoted by an HTTP URI, the information on the originating controlled vocabulary is not included in the mapping. The motivation is that this information can be obtained by accessing the keyword URI.
- Added mapping for spatial resolution, by using
rdfs:comment
with a human-readable presentation of distance or equivalent scale. This includes mappings from EPSG codes / OGC URNs to UCUM codes (for units of measure). - Revised mapping of geographic identifier, based on whether the geographic identifier is or not an HTTP URI.
- Revised mapping for conformance result, based on the W3C PROV ontology (only for the extended profile).
- Added mapping for spatial and temporal reference systems, by using
dct:conformsTo
(only for the extended profile). The representation of the reference system varies depending on whether it is specified with an HTTP URI (@rdf:resource
), a URN (dct:identifier
), or as free text (skos:prefLabel
). The code space is modelled as askos:ConceptScheme
and the version asowl:versionInfo
.
- Minor fixes.
- When a URL is available in
gmd:useLimitations
,dct:license
+dct:LicenseDocument
are used, instead ofdct:rights
+dct:RightsStatement
. - Added mapping for geographic identifier and extent description (spatial coverage). The geographic identifier is modelled as a
skos:Concept
, the code is specified withskos:prefLabel
, the authority is modelled as askos:ConceptScheme
. If the code is associated with an HTTP URI by usinggmx:Anchor/@xlink:href
, this will be used as the URI of the geographic identifier (skos:Concept
). - Revised generation of bounding box encodings wrt axis order. The default spatial reference system (SRS) is now CRS84 (and not EPSG:4326). Consequently, the default axis order is now longitude / latitude for both WKT and GML (in GeoJSON, the axis order is always longitude / latitude irrespective of the SRS used). If a different SRS is used, the axis order must be explicitly specified by using a specific parameter (
$SrsAxisOrder
).
- Core and extended profiles revised to match with the current version of the DCAT-AP specification.
- Metadata and resource character encodings: ISO 19115 character set codes have been mapped to the IANA character set names.
- Added metadata character encoding (only for the extended profile).
- Metadata description (metadata on metadata) typed as
dcat:CatalogRecord
, and partially moved to the core profile (as per the DCAT-AP specification). - Added licence and access rights to services.
- Revision to transformation rules for "service type".
- Moved "creation date" to the extended profile (it is not supported in DCAT-AP).
- Added bounding box encoding in WKT and GeoJSON.
- Fixed axis order to WKT and GeoJSON bounding box encodings.
- Added tentative revision to mappings for services:
- All services are typed (
rdf:type
) asdctype:Service
's (only for the extended profile). - Discovery / catalogue services are typed (
rdf:type
) asdcat:Catalog
's (for both the core and extended profiles).
- All services are typed (
- Revised mapping of element "Encoding", to use the value of attribute
@xlink:href
, if available, as the format URI. - Fix to mapping of conformity degree.
- Included mapping for
gmd:explanation
(earl:info
), concerning conformity test results. - Updated parameters
MetadataUri
andResourceUri
based on the default rule, according to which HTTP URIs are specified for the metadata file identifier (metadata URI) and the resource identifier (resource URI). - Moved "Lineage" and responsible organisations with role "originator" to the core profile, according with the revision to DCAT-AP.
- Fixed disalignment between the ISO 19115 maintenance frequency codes and the Dublin Core Collection Description Frequency Vocabulary.
- Added tentative mapping for ISO 19139 element "Spatial representation type". For this,
adms:representationTechnique
has been used fordcat:Distribution
, and the spatial representation type codes in the original ISO 19139 record have been mapped to the corresponding URIs that may be made available through the INSPIRE Registry. - Revised transformation of "Resource locator"'s based on the function code:
download
/offlineAccess
/order
->dcat:distribution
+dcat:accessURL
.information
/search
->foaf:page
.dcat:landingPage
when the function code is missing.
- Added URL for responsible organisations, when available. This has been modelled as follows:
- with
foaf:workplaceHomepage
, when the responsible organisation has been modelled as afoaf:Organization
. - with
vcard:hasURL
, when the responsible organisation has been modelled as avcard:Kind
.
- with
- Minor fixes.
- Fixed ambiguous rule in template "ResourceDates", causing processing warnings or errors.
- Values for resource format (encoding) and character encoding are no longer hard-coded, but taken from the relevant ISO 19139 elements.
- Revised creation of distributions:
- Added character encoding for metadata record and resource distributions (only for the extended profile).
- Added distribution title (
gmd:transferOptions/*/gmd:onLine/*/gmd:name
). - Added distribution description (
gmd:transferOptions/*/gmd:onLine/*/gmd:description
). - Resource format (encoding), conditions for access and use, limitations on public access (only for the extended profile), is applied to each distribution (in ISO 19139, these are all associated with the resource, not with its distributions, as in DCAT/DCAT-AP).
- Fixed and revised specification of the resource language.
- Added tentative mapping for ISO 19139 element "Metadata file identifier". For this,
dct:identifier
has been used. - Added tentative mappings for ISO 19139 elements "Metadata standard name" and "Metadata standard version". They have been modelled as characteristics of the source metadata record (
dct:source
), and specified by usingdct:conformsTo
+dct:title
/owl:versionInfo
. - Added tentative mapping for ISO 19139 element "Maintenance information". For this,
dct:accrualPeriodicity
has been used, and the frequency codes in the original ISO 19139 record have been mapped to the corresponding ones of the of the Dublin Core Collection Description Frequency Vocabulary (when available). - Fixed axis order in the coordinates of the bounding box.
- Revised generation of
earl:Assertion
's to express conformity, based on whether the resource has or not a URI. - Minor fixes.
Preliminary version.
