Goals

● For data providers, both individual providers and data repositories: publishing structured metadata

using schema.org, DCAT, CSVW, and other community standards will make this metadata available for

others to discover and use.

● For data consumers (from scientists to data journalists and more): citing data properly, much as we

cite scientific publications .

● For developers: to contribute to expanding schema.org metadata for datasets, providing

domain-specific vocabularies, as well as working on tools and applications that consume this rich

metadata.
