Value Lists for data.overheid.nl and DCAT Application Profile

Value lists are used to make it easy to sign in datasets on data.overheid.nl and to validate the delivery of dataset information from external catalogs. The value lists are part of the application profile of DCAT that data.overheid.nl has developed. This version of the value lists is the basis for the DCAT-AP-DONL version 1.1.

Use Cases

• Validate metadata submissions from external data catalogs based on the described value lists.
• Standardize dataset descriptions on data.overheid.nl using the controlled vocabularies.
• Implement the DCAT-AP-DONL 1.1 application profile for metadata interoperability.

Strengths

• Data is published under a CC0 1.0 public domain dedication, allowing maximum reuse.
• The value lists are formally linked to the DCAT-AP-DONL 1.1 standard, providing a clear specification context.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
