How do I express project open data (data.json) as a dataset?

[dafeder]

I'm working on a data catalog that primarily stores and displays metadata using the Project Open Data metadata schema. What is the easiest way for me to present these datasets as data packages that will integrate with other frictionless data tools?

For instance, here is a one-dataset catalog example: https://gist.github.com/philipashlock/21ff607527863fba200b

@dafeder great question and this fits perfectly with current mapping efforts in frictionlessdata/forum#53

The starting point would be to extract the json schema fields and put in the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XdqGTFni5Jfs8AMbcbfsP7m11h9mOHS0eDtUZtqGVSg/edit#gid=774748003

Great if this is something you can help with o/w my colleagues @sglavoie may be able to help with it.

Once that is done we can do a mapping which is generally pretty easy ~10m or so. Basically, most stuff just transfers across.

As a quick update, we have now described the Project Open Data schema in the spreadsheet (in this sheet). 🎉

Thanks @rufuspollock and @sglavoie, coming back to this after a bit of time way. I'm going to go through but it looks pretty complete. One thing that's nice -- the move to calling this standard "DCAT-US" instead of the clunky "Project Open Data Schema" seems to be official, so that can make these docs a little more manageable. I'll try to create a mapping table as an additional sheet.

[rufuspollock]

@dafeder that's great 👏 - let us know when you have gone through the mapping setup.

Hi all. Currently is there some way to convert (sort of) from DCAT to frictionless and viceversa?

Thank you

Not yet, but there is a mapping effort underway to associate metadata in data packages to/from DCAT2. If you'd like to, you can help us finish or revise the mapping once it's done.
