The update to frictionless Data Package 2.0 and a needed conceptual change of the metadata schema was the impetus for an update to the next major version. Up to version 1.6.0, the OEM metadata was customised to individual database tables or files. All keys only describe the entire collection. This has been fixed in the latest version by moving all metadata sections to the resource level. This corresponds to the structure of DCAT-AP and enables the implementation of a collection function on the OEP.
For an improved building and maintaining process, the repo has been updated with a segmented JSON schema and corresponding scripts to generate templates and examples. In addition, the badges have been updated.
Several new keys have been introduced:

  • collection / description
  • resource / topics
  • resource / embargoPeriod / (start, end, isActive)
  • resource / context / title
  • resource / context / publisher
  • resource / spatial / location / (address, @id, longitude, longitude)
  • resource / spatial / extent / (name, @id, resolutionValue, resolutionUnit, boundingBox, crs)
  • resource / sources / (authors, publicationYear)
  • resource / sources / licenses / copyrightStatement
  • resource / licenses / copyrightStatement
  • resource / contributors / (path, organization, roles)
  • resource / type
  • resource / schema / fields / nullable
