[ckan-dev] vocabularies for describing datasets - DCat and RADion

Tue Oct 30 16:41:17 UTC 2012

Greetings,

CKAN already supports describing datasets in RDFa by using some commonly
used vocabularies (e.g. DCat [1]). See an example by taking the URL of any
dataset in CKAN and pasting it into the RDFa Distiller [2].

Given that the European Comission ADMS Working Group has recently published
the related Reposiotry, Asset, Distribution (RADion) vocabulary [3][4], I
wonder if CKAN should support this vocabulary in RDFa as well. What do you
think about RADion? Were any of you involved in its development?
