Abstract

This document describes the background and methodology for the design of the DataCite profile of DCAT-AP (CiteDCAT-AP), as well as the defined mappings and RDF vocabulary.

Introduction

This document describes the background and methodology for the design of the DataCite profile of DCAT-AP (CiteDCAT-AP), as well as the defined mappings.

The motivation for investigating the possiblity of aligning DataCite metadata with DCAT-AP is twofold:

  1. To identify how to create a DCAT-AP-compliant representation of DataCite metadata, in order to enable their sharing across DCAT-AP-enabled data catalogues. This analysis is not meant to provide a complete representation of all DataCite metadata elements, but only of those included in DCAT-AP.
  2. To identify how to create a DataCite-compliant representation of DCAT-AP metadata, in order to enable their publishing on the DataCite infrastructure. This analysis is meant to develop an extension of DCAT-AP, covering all DataCite metadata elements.

The following sections first illustrate the background () and the methodology () for the design of CiteDCAT-AP, followed by an analysis of related work (). Then, a high level overview of the metadata elements supported in DCAT-AP and DataCite is provided (), along with a summary of mapping issues ().

The defined mappings are introduced in , and grouped as follows:

The terms (classes and properties) defined in the CiteDCAT-AP namespace and the XSLT-based implementation of the defined mappings is included in appendix ( and , respectively).

Background

The DCAT Application Profile for Data Portals in Europe (DCAT-AP)

DCAT-AP [[DCAT-AP]] is a metadata profile developed in the framework of the EU Programme Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations (ISA), and based on and compliant with the W3C Data Catalog vocabulary (DCAT) [[VOCAB-DCAT]] - currently, one of the most widely used Semantic Web vocabularies for describing datasets and data catalogues.

The purpose of DCAT-AP is to define a common interchange metadata format for data portals of the EU and of EU Member States. In order to achieve this, DCAT-AP defines a set of classes and properties, grouped into mandatory, recommended and optional. Such classes and properties correspond to information on datasets and data catalogues that are shared by many European data portals, aiding interoperability. Although DCAT-AP is designed to be independent from its actual implementation, RDF [[RDF-CONCEPTS]] and Linked Data [[LD-BOOK]] are the reference technologies.

DataCite

DataCite is an international initiative meant to enable citation for scientific datasets. To achieve this, DataCite operates a metadata infrastructure, following the same approach used by CrossRef for scientific publications. As such, the DataCite infrastructure is responsible for issuing persistent identifiers (in particular, DOIs) for datasets, and for registering dataset metadata. Such metadata are to be provided according to the DataCite metadata schema [[DataCite]] - which is basically an extension to the DOI one.

Currently, DataCite is the de facto standard for data citation. Therefore, the ability to transform metadata records from and to the DataCite metadata schema would enable, respectively, the harvesting of DataCite records, and the publication of metadata records in the DataCite infrastructure (thus enabling their citation).

Aligning DataCite with DCAT-AP

The motivation for investigating the possiblity of aligning DataCite metadata with DCAT-AP is twofold:

  1. To identify how to create a DCAT-AP-compliant representation of DataCite metadata, in order to enable their sharing across DCAT-AP-enabled data catalogues. This analysis is not meant to provide a complete representation of all DataCite metadata elements, but only of those included in DCAT-AP.
  2. To identify how to create a DataCite-compliant representation of DCAT-AP metadata, in order to enable their publishing on the DataCite infrastructure. This analysis is meant to develop an extension of DCAT-AP, covering all DataCite metadata elements.

About point (2), the DataCite-based extension of DCAT-AP is also meant to integrate into DCAT-AP all the information required for data citation.

Based on these considerations, two versions of a DataCite profile of DCAT-AP have been defined, namely, CiteDCAT-AP Core (addressing the requirements of point (1)) and CiteDCAT-AP Extended (addressing the requirements of point (2)). More precisely, the core version includes alignments only for the subset of DataCite metadata elements included in the DCAT-AP specification, whereas the extended version tries to defines alignments for all the DataCite metadata elements using DCAT-AP and other Semantic Web vocabularies (whenever DCAT-AP does not offer suitable candidates). As such, CiteDCAT-AP Extended is a superset of CiteDCAT-AP Core, and both are conformant with DCAT-AP.

Methodology

The reference DCAT-AP and DataCite specifications on which CiteDCAT-AP is based are the following ones:

For the mappings, existing work has been taken into account concerning the mapping of DataCite to other metadata standards. In particular:

CiteDCAT-AP builds upon these specifications to provide an as much as possible complete mapping of all the metadata elements in version 4.4 of the DataCite metadata schema [[DataCite-20210330]]. Moreover, the defined mappings are backward compatible with earlier versions of the DataCite metadata schema.

The resulting mappings have been grouped into two classes, corresponding to two different CiteDCAT-AP profiles:

As far as the extended profile is concerned, the reference vocabularies have been chosen based on the following criteria:

  1. They have clear persistence and versioning policies.
  2. Preferably, they should be used across domains and data communities.

These criteria are determining the main differences with the mappings defined in [[?DC2AP]] and [[?DataCite2RDF]], that are illustrated in the following section.

Comparison with DC2AP & DataCite2RDF

[[DC2AP]] and [[DataCite2RDF]] provide a full mapping of version 3.1 of the DataCite metadata schema. To achieve this, they re-use a number of vocabularies, that can be grouped into two main classes:

  1. General purpose and widely used vocabularies, such as Dublin Core, FOAF, GeoSPARQL, and SKOS.
  2. A set of vocabularies developed specifically to model the publishing and academic domains. They include PRISM (Publishing Requirements for Industry Standard Metadata) [[PRISM]] and FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) [[FRBR]], plus a set of ontologies developed in the framework of the SPAR (Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies) project.

The current version of CiteDCAT-AP follows the mappings based on the former group of vocabularies, but not the ones based on the latter group. The reason is twofold. First, the persistence and versioning policies of these vocabularies are unclear, and so it has been considered safer to re-consider their use when CiteDCAT-AP is more consolidated. Second, the mappings defined in [[DC2AP]] and [[DataCite2RDF]] are not compliant with the general requirements of DCAT-AP. For instance, despite the resource types defined in DataCite include datasets and metadata records, neither [[DC2AP]] nor [[DataCite2RDF]] make use of DCAT.

It is worth noting that the second group of ontologies, and in particular the ones developed in the SPAR project, provide interesting solutions to modelling some aspects not explicitly addressed in DCAT-AP - e.g., the possibility of associating a temporal dimension to agent roles - but also alternative solutions for specifying the same information - one of the examples being resource identifiers. Complementing and aligning the different approaches would be mutually beneficial.

DataCite and DCAT-AP at a glance

The following sections provide a high-level comparison of the metadata elements defined in DataCite and DCAT-AP.

DataCite metadata elements supported in DCAT-AP

The following table provides the complete list of DataCite metadata elements, and shows whether they are supported in DCAT-AP.

For each of the DataCite metadata elements, the table specifies whether they are mandatory (M), recommended (R), or optional (O).

DataCite DCAT-AP Comments
Elements Obligation
Identifier M Partially DataCite requires this to be a DOI, whereas DCAT-AP does not have such requirement
Creator M Yes
Title M Yes
Publisher M Yes
Publication year M Yes
Subject R Yes
Contributor R Partially

DCAT-AP supports only 1 out of the 21 DataCite contributor types (namely, contact point / person).

GeoDCAT-AP supports 1 additional DataCite contributor type, namely, rights holder, plus a set of roles from [[?ISO-19115]].
Date R Partially

DCAT-AP supports only 2 out of the 9 DataCite date types (namely, issue date and last modified date)

GeoDCAT-AP supports also an additional date type, namely, creation date.
Resource type R Partially

DCAT-AP supports 2 resource types, namely, dcat:Dataset and dcat:DataService. All DataCite resource types fall under the definition of dcat:Dataset, with the exception of event, physical object, and service (dcat:DataService has a more specific semantics compared with the service resource type in DataCite).
Related identifier R Yes

Alternate identifier O Yes
Size O Yes In DCAT-AP, this is a property of the dataset distribution, and not of the dataset itself
Format O Yes In DCAT-AP, this is a property of the dataset distribution, and not of the dataset itself
Version O Yes
Rights O Yes

DataCite does not use specific elements for use conditions (i.e., licences) and access rights,

In DCAT-AP, use conditions are a property of the dataset distribution, whereas access rights are associated with the dataset.

Summary of alignment issues

As shown in the previous section, DCAT-AP is able to represent all DataCite mandatory elements.

On the other hand, DataCite includes all the DCAT-AP mandatory classes and related properties, with the only notable exception of dcat:Catalog. However, this does not pose particular compliance issues, since the catalogue description could be obtained separately from the relevant DataCite records. Actually, since DataCite records are supposed to be all available via the DataCite catalogue, the catalogue description can potentially be the same for all DataCite records. Of course, this does not apply for those records following the DataCite schema but not registered in the DataCite infrastructure.

There are however some key differences on the DCAT-AP and DataCite data models that needs to be addressed. The following sections outline the solutions adopted in CiteDCAT-AP, as well as open issues.

Resource types

DataCite supports 28 different resource types, 12 of which correspond to the classes included in the DCMI Type vocabulary [[DCTERMS]].

The definition of dcat:Dataset is broad enough to cover most of the DataCite resource types, the exceptions being event, physical object, service, which are not supported in DCAT-AP (class dcat:DataService is semantically more specific than service DataCite resource type). For these resource types, it is possible to re-use the DCMI Type vocabulary, which includes classes for event (dctype:Event), physical object (dctype:PhysicalObject), and service (dctype:Service). Moreover, for compliance with [[VOCAB-DCAT-2]], they are also typed as dcat:Resource's.

CiteDCAT-AP re-uses the approach outlined above. Moreover, in order to preserve the original information, it uses dct:type with the relevant classes of the DCMI Type vocabulary to denote the DataCite resource type.

As said above, the DCMI Type vocabulary does not include classes for data paper, model, and workflow, and no suitable candidates have been found in the reference vocabularies. In order to address this issue, CiteDCAT-AP defines specific classes for these resource types (citedcat:DataPaper, citedcat:Model, citedcat:Workflow), which are specified in metadata records by using property dct:type (see ).

Identifiers

The requirements are basically the following ones:

DCAT-AP already provides a mechanism to specify primary and secondary identifiers, as well as the identifier type. More precisely:

Such solutions are basically reflecting the DataCite approach to specify identifiers. However, identifiers specified in this way are of no use for effectively linking the relevant resources. For this purpose, an option would be encoding identifiers as HTTP URIs, whenever possible. This is the case, e.g., for ORCIDs, ISNIs, and DOIs. About the ability to specifying differently primary and secondary/alternative identifiers, the resource URI can denote the primary identifier, whereas URIs corresponding to alternative identifiers can be specified by using owl:sameAs.

Based on what said above, CiteDCAT-AP specifies identifiers as follows:

Agent roles

DataCite supports three main types of agent roles, namely, creator, publisher, and contributor. The last can be further specialised by specifying a contributor "type". DataCite supports 22 contributor types, including, e.g., "contact person", "editor", "funder", "producer", "rights holder", "sponsor", "other".

DCAT-AP supports only three agent roles, namely, creator, publisher and contact point (corresponding to contributor type "contact person" in DataCite). GeoDCAT-AP includes another one of the DataCite agent roles - namely, rights holder - plus a set of agent roles defined in [[?ISO-19115]], whose semantics is not aligned with DataCite.

As a result, together, DCAT-AP and GeoDCAT-AP cover publisher, creator, and 2 contributor types, namely, contact point and rights holder. For the other ones, CiteDCAT-AP includes the following mappings:

It is worth noting that some of the DataCite contributor types cannot be specified with a direct relationship. This is the case of roles "project leader", "project manager", "project member", "researcher", "supervisor", and "workpackage leader". Such roles are not directly describing the relationship between a resource and an agent, but rather the role of the individual in the "activity" that created the resource. E.g., "project leader" can be described as "the leader of the project that created the resource".

In such cases, the approach used in CiteDCAT-AP is as follows:

In case of roles "project leader", "project manager", and "project member", the activity is additionally typed as a foaf:Project.

The following code snippet shows how contributor type "project member" is specified in CiteDCAT-AP:

Distributions

The DataCite data model does not distinguish between a dataset and its embodiment(s) ("distribution(s)", in the DCAT terminology).

As a consequence, attributes that in DCAT/DCAT-AP are specific to distributions (as format, licence, size), in DataCite are associated with the dataset. Moreover, in DataCite there is no attribute equivalent to dcat:accessURL or dcat:downloadURL. Actually, the only information that can be used to access the dataset, and, possibly, its distribution(s), is the resource DOI.

Based on this, the approach used in CiteDCAT-AP to map DataCite records is as follows:

  1. If the described resource is an event, physical object, or service (i.e., if it cannot be typed as a dataset), the notion of "distribution" does not apply. Therefore, all DataCite elements are used in CiteDCAT-AP to describe the resource. Otherwise:
  2. Each record is described in CiteDCAT-AP as a dataset (dcat:Dataset), having exactly 1 distribution.
  3. The resulting distribution gets the relevant DataCite elements (as format, licence, size), as per the DCAT/DCAT-AP schema, whereas the remaining ones are used to describe the dataset.
  4. The dataset DOI is used both as the dataset identifier / URI and as the distribution access URL.

Use and access conditions

DataCite includes a single element, namely, "rights", to specify use and access conditions. This element is also supported in DCAT-AP (dct:rights), but, in addition, specific properties are used for use conditions (dct:license) and access rights (dct:accessRights). Moreover, in DCAT-AP use conditions are associated with distributions, whereas access rights with datasets.

Based on this, CiteDCAT-AP maps by default DataCite "rights" to dct:rights. In addition, they are mapped to dct:license and dct:accessRights when DataCite rights make explicit reference to some known licences and access rights vocabularies. More precisely, the recognised vocabularies are the following ones:

Keywords and controlled vocabularies

DataCite supports the specification of both free-text keywords and keywords from controlled vocabularies.

For the latter case, DCAT-AP recommends the use of URIs, but in DataCite only textual labels are used.

To comply with the DCAT-AP recommendation, an option is to implement mappings from textual labels to URIs. However, this poses two main issues:

  1. DataCite does not require / recommend the use of specific vocabularies, nor a particular format for the textual labels.
  2. It is often the case that no URIs are available for the used vocabularies.

Such situation makes it difficult the effective implementation of vocabulary mapping.

For this reason, CiteDCAT-AP preserves keywords from controlled vocabularies as textual labels, unless attribute @valueURI is specified, or the textual label is a URI.

1st-level mappings

The mappings illustrated in this section concern the 1st-level elements in the DataCite metadata schema.

These elements specify properties / relationships that, in some cases, can be futher specialised with an attribute denoting their sub-type (e.g., the "type" of resource, the "type" of contributor, the "type" of related resource). For this reason, elements having a "type" attribute have both a default mapping for the element, and a specific mapping for the type. The default mapping is used in the following cases:

As a rule, the domain of the mappings is the one corresponding to the ResourceType element (i.e., dcat:Resource, dcat:Dataset, dctype:Service, or dctype:Event). However, "starred" elements - i.e., elements whose name is preceded by an asterisk ("*") - are those having as domain dcat:Distribution when the resource is typed as a dcat:Dataset.

geoLocationPolygon locn:geometry gsp:wktLiteral testing

Added in [[?DataCite-20160916]].

The polygon vertices are specified by using child element geoPolygonPoint. The coordinates of each vertex are specified by using two child elements - respectively, pointLatitude and pointLongitude.

[[?DataCite-20171023]] introduces an additional element inPolygonPoint to mark the inside of the polygon for "any bound area that is larger than half the earth". Its purpose is not necessary in the transformed geometry encoding, so this element is not mapped.

Identifiers

DataCite supports the use of persistent identifiers to denote:

In DataCite, such identifiers are specified as follows:

In CiteDCAT-AP, all these identifiers are mapped to URIs, by concatenating the identifier in the DataCite record with a URI prefix defined for each identifier type / scheme. Whenever possible, dereferenceable HTTP URIs/URLs are used; otherwise, URNs.

Notably, DataCite provides code lists for the types / schemes of identifiers used to denote resources and funders, but no code list is defined in DataCite for types / schemes of identifiers used to denote resource creators / contributors (the specification uses, as an example, "ORCID" and "ISNI").

However, DataCite does not specify a code list for scheme URIs. So, the mapping between the identifier type / scheme implemented in CiteDCAT-AP is based on the relevant registries and examples in the DataCite metadata schema specification. No URI prefix is of course used if the identifier is already a URI (as URLs and URNs).

The following table shows, for each identifier type / scheme, which is the URI prefix used in CiteDCAT-AP, along with examples of the results of such mappings. As mentioned above, all the identifier types / schemes in the table are defined as a code list in the DataCite metadata schema, with the exception of ORCID and ISNI (however, ISNI is defined in the code list for funder identifier types).

 citedcat:dataCollector owl:Thing foaf:Agent
data curator

Person tasked with reviewing, enhancing, cleaning, or standardizing metadata and the associated data submitted for storage, use, and maintenance within a data centre or repository [[DataCite]].

While the DataManager is concerned with digital maintenance, the DataCurator’s role encompasses quality assurance focused on content and metadata. DataCurator responsibilities include: checking completeness of the submitted dataset against the content as described by the submitter; verifying standard metadata according to the applicable system or schema; adding or verifying specialized metadata to add value and ensure access across disciplines; and determining how the metadata might map to search engines, database products, and automated feeds. Repository managers as well as data librarians working in the repository fall within this category [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:dataCurator owl:Thing foaf:Agent
data manager

Person (or organisation with a staff of data managers, such as a data centre) responsible for maintaining the finished resource [[DataCite]].

The work done by this person or organisation ensures that the resource is periodically “refreshed” in terms of software/hardware support, is kept available or is protected from unauthorized access, is stored in accordance with industry standards, and is handled in accordance with the records management requirements applicable to it [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:dataManager owl:Thing foaf:Agent
hosting institution

Typically, the organisation allowing the resource to be available on the Internet through the provision of its hardware/software/operating support [[DataCite]].

This role normally falls on the University, research center or organization where the data center/data repository belongs. May also be used for an organisation that stores the data offline - often a data centre if that data centre is not the “publisher” of the resource [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:hostingInstitution owl:Thing foaf:Agent
project leader

Person officially designated as head of project team or sub-project team instrumental in the work necessary to development of the resource [[DataCite]].

project member

Person on the membership list of a designated project/project team [[DataCite]].

This vocabulary may or may not indicate the quality, quantity, or substance of the person’s involvement [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:projectMember foaf:Project foaf:Person
registration agency

Institution/organisation officially appointed by a Registration Authority to handle specific tasks within a defined area of responsibility [[DataCite]].

For instance: DataCite is a Registration Agency for the International DOI Foundation (IDF). One of DataCite’s tasks is to assign DOI prefixes to the allocating agents who then assign the full, specific character string to data clients, provide metadata back to the DataCite registry, etc. [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:registrationAgency owl:Thing foaf:Agent
registration authority

A standards-setting body from which Registration Agencies obtain official recognition and guidance [[DataCite]].

A person involved in analyzing data or the results of an experiment or formal study. May indicate an intern or assistant to one of the authors who helped with research but who was not so “key” as to be listed as an author [[DataCite]].

Should be a person, not an institution. Note that a person involved in the gathering of data would fall under the contributorType “DataCollector.” The researcher may find additional data online and correlate it to the data collected for the experiment or study, for example [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:researcher owl:Thing foaf:Person
research group

Typically refers to a group of individuals with a lab, department, or division that has a specifically defined focus of activity [[DataCite]].

May operate at a narrower level of scope; may or may not hold less administrative responsibility than a project team [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:researchGroup owl:Thing foaf:Group
supervisor

Designated administrator over one or more groups/teams working to produce a resource or over one or more steps of a development process [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:supervisor owl:Thing foaf:Agent
work package leader

A Work Package is a recognized data product, not all of which is included in publication. The package, instead, may include notes, discarded documents, etc. The Work Package Leader is responsible for ensuring the comprehensive contents, versioning, and availability of the Work Package during the development of the resource [[DataCite]].

 citedcat:workPackageLeader owl:Thing foaf:Person
funder

Institution that provided financial support for the development of the resource [[DataCite]].
