This page is dedicated to provide information on tools to support Member States in implementing the BRegDCAT-AP specification and data model.
The tools presented in this page are no longer actively maintained nor updated, but can still be used at the convenience of the user. To find open source tools that have similar functionalities, but are not specifically designed for BRegDCAT-AP, the user can consult the SEMIC Toolkit or the SEMIC Tooling Assistant.
The SEMIC Tooling Assistant is an interactive wizard which presents a set of open-source tools based on answers to questions related to the task that is to be performed.

Tools
Below the list of tools can be found that were specifically designed for the Catalogue of Services action, but are no longer actively maintained and archived. All the tools are, however, still available at the convenience of the user.
[This tool is archived. This means that the tool is no longer actively maintained by SEMIC, but still available for use at the convenience of the user.]
By means of a user-friendly web form, public administrations will be able to describe their data descriptions following the BRegDCAT-AP only once, and allow sharing the descriptions of several portals by exporting these descriptions in interoperable machine-readable formats.

Instead of manually updating the descriptions owned by different competent authorities on multiple levels of administration (national, regional, local) on a central catalogue, the harvester will allow public administrations to get the data in a faster, more efficient and (semi-)automatic way. This will thus ease the creation of an integrated view on data in base registries provided within a specific country or region.

[This tool has been moved to the Interoperability Test Bed and can be accessed via this link.]
By using this tool, public administrations will be able to check the compliance of their descriptions against the data requirements of the BRegDCAT-AP. This will allow them to get feedback on how to harmonise their descriptions by identifying and fixing inconsistencies, errors, missing mandatory information, etc., and will improve the quality of the data.
