Pascal,

We publish RDF representations of CKAN datasets (which include DCAT fields)
here: http://semantic.ckan.net
More details here: http://wiki.ckan.org/RDF_and_CKAN

There was also an effort to do something similar in a CKAN extension:
https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-rdf/overview
@Friedrich @Adria - what's the status of this? Can it be installed on

David
