The EU-funded VRE4EIC project is hosting a workshop in collaboration with W3C, the World Wide Web Consortium, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 30 November to 1 December 2016.
This workshop aims to clarify the steps needed to improve communication between data repositories and applications that use that data, such as virtual research environments. Applications may simply discover data or visualise it, manipulate it, discuss it, correct it, describe it republish it etc. The outcome may be a new W3C Working Group chartered to extend DCAT, the Data Catalogue Vocabulary, and determine how human and machine-readable metadata profiles are defined and made discoverable.
A further aim is to explore how W3C can best support vocabulary development for a variety of communities.
