Core Concepts​

The core building block of OpenCatalogi is the Publication, which is based on the DCAT (Data Catalog Vocabulary) standard. A publication can be thought of as a digital dossier or case file that contains:

  • Metadata describing the publication
  • Optional files and documents that are being published
  • Links to related publications or external resources

Publications live within Catalogs, which are collections of related publications. A catalog might represent an organization, department, or topic area.
