Within the European Union, member states are setting up official data catalogues as entry points to access PSI (Public Sector Information). In this context, it is important to describe the metadata of these data portals, i.e., of data catalogs, and allow for interoperability among them. To tackle these issues, the Government Linked Data Working Group developed DCAT (Data Catalog Vocabulary), an RDF vocabulary for describing the metadata of data catalogs. This topic report analyzes the current use of the DCAT vocabulary in several European data catalogs and proposes some recommendations to deal with an inconsistent use of the metadata across countries. The enrichment of such metadata vocabularies with multilingual descriptions, as well as an account for cultural divergences, is seen as a necessary step to guarantee interoperability and ensure wider adoption.

This position paper describes the vision, objectives and methodology of the LYNX project. The aim of Lynx is to create services to better manage compliance, based on a legal knowledge graph which integrates and links heterogeneous compliance data sources including legislation, case law and standards.

Legislation is officially published in Spain as HTML, PDF and XML. In the next few months, metadata will also be published as RDF, following the guidelines of the European Legislation Identifier (ELI) and using metadata records supported by the ELI ontology. The work presented here is an independent effort to publish Spanish consolidated legislation strongly linked to other external resources. In the published dataset, text is structured in articles; key terms are related to external terminological databases, named entities are identified, and links between internal and external documents have been automatically identified. The dataset is publicly available in a SPARQL endpoint.

The Monnet project offers a solution to this cross-language information access problem by using a novel combination of Machine Translation and Semantic Web Technology. Monnet business users will be able to have transparent access to company information across national and linguistic boundaries. Monnet public services users will find answers to their questions independent of the country's official languages. A key solution to this problem is to deal with the information at a semantic level. Monnet achieves this through semantically aware term translation based on a novel approach that integrates ontology-based domain semantics with linguistic information from the domain lexicon. The Monnet solution will change the way business and government provide, exchange and integrate information, driving global standardization efforts.
