What can AI do for open data?

Why is data cataloging important?
Body
Categorizing datasets goes beyond assigning labels: it involves incorporating structured metadata that makes them understandable, accessible, and reusable. In the new episode of our podcast, we discuss data categorization and key standards at the global (DCAT), European (DCAT-AP), and national (DCAT-AP-ES) levels.

Title
What are the CARE principles for open data?
Body
Open data initiatives have evolved thanks to the FAIR principles, which promote accessibility and reuse. However, in vulnerable contexts, an ethical approach is needed to prevent harm. The CARE principles complement the FAIR principles by prioritizing collective benefit, control, ethics, and accountability.
