The [DBpedia Archivo Databus agent](https://databus.dbpedia.org/ontologies) generates only basic, static documentation for the archived snapshots of the ontologies.

## Ontology Metadata

DBpedia Archivo extracts metadata from the ontology for well known properties (e.g. dct:description). This subsection shows the content of every property individually using a separate heading.

### dct:description

CiteDCAT-AP is an extension of the DCAT application profile for data portals in Europe (DCAT-AP) for describing resources documented by using the DataCite metadata schema - the de facto standard for data citation, and used across scientific disciplines. Its basic use case is to make research data searchable on general data portals, thereby bridging the gap between scientific and public sector information. For this purpose, CiteDCAT-AP provides an RDF vocabulary and the corresponding RDF syntax binding for the metadata elements defined in DataCite.

### rdfs:comment

CiteDCAT-AP is an extension of the DCAT application profile for data portals in Europe (DCAT-AP) for describing resources documented by using the DataCite metadata schema - the de facto standard for data citation, and used across scientific disciplines. Its basic use case is to make research data searchable on general data portals, thereby bridging the gap between scientific and public sector information.
