The DBpedia DataID Unit is a DBpedia group with the goal of describing LOD datasets via RDF files, to host and deliver these metadata files together with the dataset in a uniform way, create and validate such files and deploy the results for the DBpedia and its local chapters. Established vocabularies like DCAT, VoID, Prov-O and SPARQL Service Description are to be reused for maximum compatibility. This way, we hope to establish a uniform and accepted way to describe and deliver dataset metadata for arbitrary LOD datasets and to put existing standards into practice.

This repository is meant to develop the DataID ontology, as well as a RDFUnit test file, a DataID generator and validator, as well as the DataID file for the DBpedia project and its chapters.
