Draft for discussion and revision by the CDO Tiger Team and the Data.gov team.
The DCAT Interagency Maintenance Team supports ongoing maintenance of the DCAT-US v3.0 metadata standard. The team provides a structured process for reviewing proposed changes, clarifying implementation questions, maintaining documentation, coordinating release cycles, and communicating updates to agencies.
DCAT-US v3.0 follows a semi-annual maintenance cycle covering schema governance, documentation, and agency communication.
The CDO Tiger Team governs schema changes. The Data.gov team at GSA maintains the DCAT-US repository and coordinates the maintenance cycle. Major version changes, such as DCAT-US v4.0, are planned separately.
