Explanation

Draft 6 of the GeoDCAT-AP specification proposes to complete the responsible organisation field with literals, instead of URIs. Lorena shares with the GeoDCAT-AP community how Spain fills in the organisation information in the Spanish DCAT profile by using URIs. The utilisation of URIs could be considered as a best practice.

 

The combination of the Spanish DCAT profile and the GeoDCAT-AP specification is proposed to better represent the information obtained from the geospatial metadata. An example of the inclusion of URIs for organisations is also provided.

The following paragraph was added to refer to this good pratcie:

 

It is a recommended good practice to use persistent URIs to denote organisations. The Spanish Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations, for example, maintains a Common Directory listing Spanish public administrations and has minted persistent URIs for them. These URIs are consistently used on the Spanish Data Portals. As an example:

<http://datos.gob.es/recurso/sector-publico/org/Organismo/E04585801&gt;

Even if for the time being the URIs are not resolvable, the code “E04585801” is referring to “AGENCIA ESPAÑOLA DE COOPERACION INTERNAC. PARA EL DESARROLLO”.
