When a heritage organization doesn’t have the means (yet) to publish their datasets descriptions (and data catalog) this GitHub repository can be used to publish the generated or hand-made dataset descriptions. Dataset descriptions from this repository can be added to the Dataset Register.
Each dataset description in this repository is a simple RDF file that must conform to the Requirements for Datasets. To add your own description, create a new file and submit a pull request.
Alternatively, you can contact the Dataset Register for support.
To change a dataset description that is stored in this repository, edit its file and submit a pull request.
Alternatively, you can ask the Dataset Register to apply the changes for you.
Publishing dataset descriptions here does not mean they are automatically added to the Dataset Register! This repo just acts as a simple ‘publication service’.
You can add dataset descriptions to the Dataset Register via the Dataset Register API or demonstrator. Be sure to provide the ‘raw’ version of the dataset description which starts with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.
