DataCatalog

[nickevansuk]

A DataCatalogCollection should be defined, that contains a list of data catalogs

{
   "@context": "https://openactive.io/",
   "@type": "DataCatalogCollection",
   "@id": "https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/data-catalog-collection.jsonld",
   "name": "Collection of all data catalogs recognised as compliant by OpenActive",
   "hasPart": [
      "https://opendata.leisurecloud.live/api/datacatalog",
      "https://openactivedatacatalog.legendonlineservices.co.uk/api/DataCatalog",
      "https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/singular.jsonld"
   ],
   "datePublished": "2020-02-20T08:51:54+00:00",
   "publisher": {
      "@type": "Organization",
      "name": "OpenActive",
      "url": "https://www.openactive.io/"
   },
   "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"
}

Note for OpenActive's use, in the above example, https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/singular.jsonld would be separately defined as a data catalogue of miscellaneous datasets using https://schema.org/DataCatalog as normal.

Further investigation has revealed that a DataCatalog can in fact most likely be a collection of smaller data catalogs, in the same way that Datasets can be a "collection of smaller datasets".

Hence the "Data Catalog Collection" can itself be a DataCatalog, and can look like this:

{
   "@context": "https://schema.org/",
   "@type": "DataCatalog",
   "@id": "https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/data-catalog-collection.jsonld",
   "name": "Collection of all data catalogs recognised as compliant by OpenActive",
   "hasPart": [
      "https://opendata.leisurecloud.live/api/datacatalog",
      "https://openactivedatacatalog.legendonlineservices.co.uk/api/DataCatalog",
      "https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/singular.jsonld"
   ],
   "datePublished": "2020-02-20T08:51:54+00:00",
   "publisher": {
      "@type": "Organization",
      "name": "OpenActive",
      "url": "https://www.openactive.io/"
   },
   "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"
}

Outstanding question: Should we also consider using isPartOf to link the smaller DataCatalogs to the DataCatalog collection?

[nickevansuk]

We should include the standard DataCatalog in the spec also, to facilitate all of https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "@type": "DataCatalog",
  "@id": "https://openactive.io/data-catalogs/singular.jsonld",
  "name": "Singular datasets that are not included in other data catalogs",
  "datePublished": "2020-02-20T08:55:19+00:00",
  "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/",
  "publisher": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "OpenActive",
    "url": "https://www.openactive.io/"
  },
  "dataset": [
    "http://data.makesweat.com/",
    "http://data.better.org.uk/",
    "http://data.bookwhen.com/",

Added to version 0.2, along with a worked example.
