Dataset DRAFT Profile

A short summary describing a dataset. A description of the item.

CURIEs that can be resolved using Identifiers.org should be used. The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.

Keywords or tags used to describe this content. Multiple entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas.

Keywords should be drawn from a controlled vocabulary, e.g. EDAM, and supplied as a DefinedTerm list.

A license under which the dataset is distributed. A license document that applies to this content, typically indicated by URL.

A descriptive name of the dataset. The name of the item.

The location of a page describing the dataset. URL of the item.

An alias for the item.

A citation for a publication that describes the dataset. A citation or reference to another creative work, such as another publication, web page, scholarly article, etc.

The name of the dataset creator (person or organization). The creator/author of this CreativeWork. This is the same as the Author property for CreativeWork.

A downloadable form of this dataset, at a specific location, in a specific format.

A data catalog which contains this dataset. Supersedes includedDataCatalog, catalog. Inverse property: dataset

Use to link a Dataset to the Study that it was generated from. A resource that was used in the creation of this resource. This term can be repeated for multiple sources. For example, http://example.com/great-multiplication-intro.html. Supersedes isBasedOnUrl.

A technique or technology used in a Dataset (or DataDownload, DataCatalog), corresponding to the method used for measuring the corresponding variable(s) (described using variableMeasured). This is oriented towards scientific and scholarly dataset publication but may have broader applicability; it is not intended as a full representation of measurement, but rather as a high level summary for dataset discovery.

For example, if variableMeasured is: molecule concentration, measurementTechnique could be: “mass spectrometry” or “nmr spectroscopy” or “colorimetry” or “immunofluorescence”.

If the variableMeasured is “depression rating”, the measurementTechnique could be “Zung Scale” or “HAM-D” or “Beck Depression Inventory”.

If there are several variableMeasured properties recorded for some given data object, use a PropertyValue for each variableMeasured and attach the corresponding measurementTechnique.

URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item’s identity. E.g. the URL of the item’s Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.

What does the dataset measure? (e.g., temperature, pressure). The variableMeasured property can indicate (repeated as necessary) the variables that are measured in some dataset, either described as text or as pairs of identifier and description using PropertyValue.

The version number for this dataset. The version of the CreativeWork embodied by a specified resource.

The date on which the CreativeWork was created or the item was added to a DataFeed.

The date on which the CreativeWork was most recently modified or when the item’s entry was modified within a DataFeed.

Date of first broadcast/publication.

Indicates an item or CreativeWork that is part of this item, or CreativeWork (in some sense). Inverse property: isPartOf

A flag to signal that the item, event, or place is accessible for free. Supersedes free.

Indicates an item or CreativeWork that this item, or CreativeWork (in some sense), is part of. Inverse property: hasPart

A maintainer of a Dataset, software package (SoftwareApplication), or other Project. A maintainer is a Person or Organization that manages contributions to, and/or publication of, some (typically complex) artifact. It is common for distributions of software and data to be based on “upstream” sources. When maintainer is applied to a specific version of something e.g. a particular version or packaging of a Dataset, it is always possible that the upstream source has a different maintainer. The isBasedOn property can be used to indicate such relationships between datasets to make the different maintenance roles clear. Similarly in the case of software, a package may have dedicated maintainers working on integration into software distributions such as Ubuntu, as well as upstream maintainers of the underlying work.

The publisher of the creative work.
