Mappings

Info

title	ISO 19115 versions

The mappings use ISO 19115:2003. There are more recent versions of the standard available e.g. 19115:2014. This doesn't affect datasets too much. Mapping to the same fields.

Each table includes:

the current information definition
the ISO 19115:2003 field
the DCAT3 equivalent
general notes. This column also contains ideas for change requests.

Dataset

Type nameProperty nameDefinitionTypeISO 19115:2003DCAT3 equivalentGeneral notes

Dataset

Metadata about a dataset.

MD_Metadata

describing resource of type DS_DataSet

dcat:Dataset

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Class:Dataset

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

Remodel dataset, dataset series, dps to show thay are different types of resources. In reality, the metadata about them is very similar.

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

update definition to one used in ICAO: Identifiable collection of data (ISO 19101*).

id

Identification of the dataset (eg a URI)
The identification is unique within a service instance

IdentifierTypeMD_DataIdentification.citation.CI_Citation.identifier

@id

The Identifier of the Dataset

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "identifier".

Update definition to "Special unique identifier permanently assigned to an entity." (AIRM)

title

Title of the dataset

string MD_DataIdentification.citation.CI_Citation.title

dct:title

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:resource_title

The Title of the Dataset

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

Update definition to "name by which the cited resource is known." (ISO 19115)

shortDescription

Free text providing a short description of the dataset

string MD_DataIdentification.abstract

dct:description

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:resource_description

A Description of the Dataset

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "description".

Update definition to "brief narrative summary of the content of the resource(s)." (ISO 19115)

type

Indication the main content of the dataset.

CodeDatasetType MD_DataIdentification.descriptiveKeywords.MD_Keywords.keyword

dct:type

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:resource_type

The (release) Type of the Dataset (using identified vocabulary terms)

Can this be bundled into an overall classification scheme?

Note: with list coming from ICAO Annex 15

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "form".

Update definition to "the form of the data set."

Note: The different forms of ICAO data sets are listed in ICAO Annex 15 5.3.1.1:

a) AIP data set;
b) terrain data sets;
c) obstacle data sets;
d) aerodrome mapping data sets; and
e) instrument flight procedure data sets.

subject

Scope of the dataset expressed as a list of subjects .

CodeDataSubjectType MD_DataIdentification.descriptiveKeywords.MD_Keywords.keyword

dcat:theme

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:resource_theme

The subject theme of the Dataset (using identified vocabulary terms)

The list of possible terms should be registered/published in order to allow URLs to be used. Recommendation is to use a controlled vocabulary.

Consider using AIRM identifiers for resources e.g.

dcat:theme": "urn:aero:airm:1.0.0:ContextualModel:ATMBusinessTerms:Aerodrome"updateType

Indication on how far the dataset has full content or represents an update.

CodeUpdateType MD_DataIdentification.descriptiveKeywords.MD_Keywords.keyword

The collection method of the Dataset (using identified vocabulary terms)

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "timeSliceType".

Update definition to "the type of timeslice contained in of the data set."

Update is the wrong word. Datasets are not updated. Think of a better word to reflect the temporality model

Note

It is not clear if this is the best DCAT2 field. The semantics do not match easily.

We could consider e.g. prov:wasDerivedFrom

"Release Type" makes more sense. A request has been raised to the DCAT3 WG https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1289

isAiracUpdate

Indication that the dataset has been updated according to the AIRAC System.

boolean

MD_DataIdentification.extent.EX_Extent.description

Note: this is the same approach as used in DS-META-004 - Indication that this is an AIRAC update

dct:accrualMethod

The encoding conformance of the Dataset (using identified vocabulary terms)

The definition of this term makes it clear that it is a statement of the process used to update the data. That is why prov is used.

Consider using AIRM identifiers for resources e.g.

prov:wasGeneratedBy": "urn:aero:airm:1.0.0:ContextualModel:ATMBusinessTerms:AIRAC"

limitationsOnUse

Free text clarifying limitations with regard to the use of the dataset.

string

MD_DataIdentification.resourceConstraints.MD_Constraints.useLimitations

Can also use e.g. MD_LegalConstraints, MD_SecurityConstraints

Note: this is the same approach as used in DS-META-005 - Limitations on use.

odrl:hasPolicy

The policy (usage rules) of the Dataset (using vocabulary model)

Need to check what is meant here – policy is the most generic approach

encoding

Standard encoding of the data

CodeDataEncodingType DQ_DataQuality.report.DQ_Eelement.result.DQ_ConformanceResult.specification

dct:conformsTo

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:resource_conforms_to

ISO mapping is long-winded. Is it correct to treat it this way?

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "confromance".

Update definition to "the standard to which the data conforms."

effectiveDate

Start of the validity period for the dataset

date

MD_DataIdentification.extent.EX_Extent.temporalElement.EX_TemporalExtent.extent

dct:temporal.dct:startDate

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:dataset_temporal

The temporal effective dates of the Datset

Consider renaming to startValidity to be consistent.

Info

title	Change proposal - draft only

rename property name to "startValidity".

endValidity

End of the validity period for the dataset. When absent, no end is specified.

date

MD_DataIdentification.extent.EX_Extent.temporalElement.EX_TemporalExtent.extent

Note: this is the same approach as used in DS-META-003 - Validity of the data set

dct:temporal.dct:endDate

https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat-3/#Property:dataset_temporal

publicationDate
