Metadata for open data : an Uruguayan case study
Objective: This paper analyses metadata for the growing trend in open data, from the perspective of whether they meet the objectives of data recovery and use.
Methodology: We propose an extension of the Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT) to a new class that would model the level of the data and its semantics.
Results: The extension is analyzed in the case of specific open data for a process of agreements on rural road networks in Uruguay. The utility of the development is illustrated by its implementation in a set of open data in resource description framework (RDF), published on Uruguay's open data portal.
