The Federal Chief Data Officers Council (CDOC) is pleased to announce the publication of the DCAT-US v3.0 Schema Implementation Guide, an initial resource to help federal agencies implement the DCAT-US Schema v3.0 metadata standard and meet applicable data inventory requirements under Title II of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 Act, also referred to as the Open, Public, Electronic, and Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act, and OMB Memorandum M-25-05. The guide provides practical, best-practice guidance for developing and maintaining data inventories and submitting standardized metadata to Data.gov, including a flexible five-step approach for identifying, inventorying, categorizing, cataloging, and maintaining data assets. Developed through an interagency and cross-council collaboration of the CDOC Customer Experience Working Group, GSA’s Data.gov team, and federal agency representatives, the guide is intended as initial guidance, not a final or static playbook. As agencies gain experience implementing DCAT-USv3.0 Schema, the CDOC looks forward to learning from the federal data community, incorporating emerging best practices and lessons learned, and iterating on the guide through future updates.

Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) is a powerful open source data management system that makes data accessible by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding, and using data. The Data.gov catalog is based on CKAN, a technology that powers many government open data sites. Inventory.data.gov is a separate instance of CKAN hosted at GSA on the same infrastructure as the Data.gov catalog.
