The Publishing Process
How an organisation takes a dataset from a list of existing data through to updates and responding to errors.
Metadata Standards
Which description standard suits which catalog: vocabulary, profile and controlled vocabulary; DCAT, ISO 19115, DataCite, DDI, SDMX, schema.org.
Federation and Harvesting
How catalogs harvest descriptions from each other, and what a source must serve to make that possible.
Licences and Access Conditions
Which licence to put on a dataset, how to record it so a program recognises the text, and how this differs from the conditions of access to a file.
Discoverability
How to make a catalog and its datasets findable by search engines, aggregators and programs, what platforms provide for this, and how to check the result.
