Alteryx workflow to write Dataset Metadata to a DCAT RDF file

Question

Introduction:

I am an Enterprise Data Architect. We want to exchange our data catalog with other entities, so we want to store our metadata in a machine-readable format so that we can exchange it. The W3C DCAT 3.0 standard is particularly suitable for this.

I am looking for an Alteryx workflow example that can write the metadata of a dataset to a DCAT 3.0 RDF file.

Need:

The workflow must perform the following steps:

* Read the metadata of a dataset.
* Convert the metadata to DCAT RDF.
* Write the DCAT RDF to a file with the extension .rdf.

Context:

The DCAT 3.0 standard is described here:

Thanks! Good advice! I will contact my CSM for this.

Perhaps someone from Alteryx can chip in here. This is beyond me as a community member to answer, but if others ave experienced it, then I think their opinions value more than mine in this case.

Alternatively, if Alteryx really doesn't have anything on this, you can suggest this as an idea. You can also go through your CSM as part of the Voice of the Customer initiative they have. Your CSM or even Alteryx assigned engineer is better able to answer you in that regard.

Hope this helps somewhat @pgrooten

Thanks for your support, I really appreciate this. I'm a little bit surprise that there is no info on RDF formats available in Alteryx. DCAT and SKOS are W3C standards and widely used.
