FAIRness evaluation & GeoDCAT #25

Open rob-metalinkage opened 1 day ago

rob-metalinkage commented 1 day ago

We would like to submit a proposal on FAIRness evaluation & GeoDCAT:

Evaluating the FAIRness of geospatial data - Extending the F-UJI tool for GeoDCAT

Evaluating the FAIRness of geospatial data requires specific adoptions of the FAIR principles and related evaluation tools. Taking F-UJI (https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/fuji), the well-known open-source evaluation tool, as a software project for our use case, we consider the following GeoDCAT extensions for further brainstorming:

Findable: Evaluate spatial information as defined in GeoDCAT, e.g., using the bounding box Accessible: Check if the metadata contains information about a geospatial Web service, e.g., WMS or WFS Interoperable: Evaluate the proper use of geospatial standards/specifications, e.g., CRS Reusability: Evaluate spatial reference system, spatial resolution, and spatial data formats, e.g. GeoJSON We intend to share the developed extension with the Earth System Sciences community as open-source, facilitating its reuse in geodata portals/catalogues, such as the European data portal or the NFDI4Earth Services Knowledge Hub or OneStop4All.
