Mappings defined in DataCite+DCAT-AP

Status of this document

This document is a draft meant to report work in progress concerning an exercise, carried out at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (Units B.6 & G.I.4), for the alignment of DataCite metadata with DCAT-AP.

As such, it can be updated any time and it must be considered as unstable.

Abstract

This documents illustrates the mappings defined in DataCite+DCAT-AP, as implemented in the datacite-to-dcat-ap.xsl XSLT.

The background and methodology for the design of DataCite+DCAT-AP are illustrated in a separate document:

Mapping summary

The following section summarises the alignments defined in DataCite+DCAT-AP.

The alignments are grouped as follows:

Alignments for 1st-level DataCite metadata elements
Alignments for 2nd-level DataCite metadata elements
Alignments for identifiers used in DataCite records

The alignments supported only in the extended profile of DataCite+DCAT-AP are in bold.

1st-level mappings

The mappings illustrated in this section concern the 1st-level elements in the DataCite metadata schema.

These elements specify properties / relationships that, in some cases, can be futher specialised with an attribute denoting their sub-type (e.g., the "type" of resource, the "type" of contributor, the "type" of related resource). For this reason, elements having a "type" attribute have both a default mapping for the element, and a specific mapping for the type. The default mapping is used in the following cases:

The element "type" is not specified
No mapping is specified for a given element "type"

As a rule, the domain of the mappings is the one corresponding to the ResourceType element (i.e., rdfs:Resource, dcat:Dataset, dctype:Service, or dctype:Event). However, "starred" elements - i.e., elements whose name is preceded by an asterisk ("*") - are those having as domain dcat:Distribution when the resource is modelled as a dcat:Dataset.

Identifiers

DataCite supports the use of persistent identifiers to denote:

the described resource, and the related resources
resource creators and contributors
funders (i.e., the organisation funding the activity from which the described resource has been created)

In DataCite, such identifiers are specified as follows:

the identifier
the identifier type / scheme name (e.g., ORCID, ISNI, DOI)
optionally, the scheme URI (e.g., http://orcid.org/, http://www.isni.org/, https://doi.org/)

In DataCite+DCAT-AP, all these identifiers are mapped to URIs, by concatenating the identifier in the DataCite record with a URI prefix defined for each identifier type / scheme. Whenever possible, dereferenceable HTTP URIs/URLs are used; otherwise, URNs.

Notably, DataCite provides code lists for the types / schemes of identifiers used to denote resources and funders, but no code list is defined in DataCite for types / schemes of identifiers used to denote resource creators / contributors (the specification uses, as an example, "ORCID" and "ISNI").

However, DataCite does not specify a code list for scheme URIs. So, the mapping between the identifier type / scheme implemented in DataCite+DCAT-AP is based on the relevant registries and examples in the DataCite metadata schema specification. No URI prefix is of course used if the identifier is already a URI (as URLs and URNs).

The following table shows, for each identifier type / scheme, which is the URI prefix used in DataCite+DCAT-AP, along with examples of the results of such mappings. As mentioned above, all the identifier types / schemes in the table are defined as a code list in the DataCite metadata schema, with the exception of ORCID and ISNI (however, ISNI is defined in the code list for funder identifier types).
