| contents | Integrated and efficient mobility requires data sharing among the involved stakeholders. In this direction, regulators and transport authorities have been defining policies to foster the digitalisation and online publication of mobility data. However, the creation of several heterogeneous data portals for mobility data resulted in a fragmented ecosystem that challenges data accessibility. In this context, metadata is a key enabler to foster the findability and reusability of relevant datasets, but their interoperability across different data portals should be ensured. Moreover, each domain presents specificities on the relevant information that should be encoded through metadata. To solve these issues within the mobility domain, we present mobilityDCAT-AP, a reference metadata specification for mobility data portals specified by putting together domain experts and the Semantic Web community. We report on the work done to develop the metadata model behind mobilityDCAT-AP and the best practices followed in its implementation and publication. Finally, we describe the available educational resources and the activities performed to ensure broader adoption of mobilityDCAT-AP across mobility data portals. We present success stories from early adopters and discuss the challenges they encountered in implementing a metadata specification based on Semantic Web technologies. |
