The Federal Chief Data Officer Council (CDOC) in partnership with the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) is leading a project to build trust and FAIRness into the Process for Finding and Using Government Data. The outcome will be an updated federal metadata standard for agencies’ data inventories.
This project relies on collaborative work in an open, consensus-based process. Federal employees and members of the public are encouraged to contribute to the success of the project by sharing their requirements, reporting issues with metadata schema, and tracking progress as the project progresses. Your participation and input are needed!
Please contribute your comments and issues for the emerging DCAT-US metadata profile. Here’s how:
-
Submit your comment and/or issue on the project GitHub here (GitHub account required), or
-
Complete the Requirements Template document and email it to: [email protected]
The requirements collection process is scheduled to be open for 30 days (ending June 30, 2023). The process is summarized here:
-
Submit your requirement(s) via GitHub or the Requirements Template document.
-
Based on the submitted requirements, the schema development team reviews and analyzes the requirements to develop an initial draft schema for the DCAT-US v3.0 application profile.
-
An initial draft schema, specification, and crosswalk is targeted for posting to the GitHub project for review on July 24, 2023.
For more information about the FAIRness project, the schema development process, and the governance of the application profile, please visit the project site on GitHub here.
