About

The reference implementation exposes metadata using DCAT and related RDF vocabularies includes DCAT-based metadata layers and can be customised with SHACL shapes, for example to align metadata with the Health-RI metadata schema and expose it to catalogues such as the National Health Data Catalogue.
