The ISA² Programme of the European Commission is starting an activity to review and revise the DCAT Application Profile for Data Portals in Europe, based on experience gained since its initial specification in 2013. The revision process will take place between February and June 2015.

In a first round of this activity we are inviting stakeholders to participate in this review by submitting change requests and additional suggestions that can be taken into account.
