This new version of the vocabulary updates and expands the original but preserves backward compatibility. A full list of the significant changes (with links to the relevent github issues) is described in <a href="#changes"></a>.

The exit criteria for CR focussed on v2 new features that replicate features that were included in application profiles of v1 as a way of remedying missing and necessary elements. The exit criteria also included recent commitments by organisations such as EC Joinup to adopt the DCAT v2 model in their work - see https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/solution/abr-specification-registry-registries/document/specification-registry-registries-version-meeting-september.

Implementation will be evidenced by showing use of the new properties/classes (or terms with equivalent meaning) in implementations of catalogs.

<h3 id="dcat_history">DCAT history</h3>
<p>The original DCAT vocabulary was developed and <a href="http://vocab.deri.ie/dcat">hosted</a> at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), then refined by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/egov/">eGov Interest Group</a>, and finally standardized in 2014 [[?VOCAB-DCAT-20140116]] by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/">Government Linked Data (GLD)</a> Working Group.</p>
<p>This revised version of DCAT was developed by the <a href="https://www.w3.org/2017/dxwg/">Dataset Exchange Working Group</a> in response to a new se t of Use Cases and Requirements [[?DCAT-UCR]] gathered from peoples' experience with the DCAT vocabulary from the time of the original version, and new applications that were not considered in the first version. A summary of the changes from [[?VOCAB-DCAT-20140116]] is provided in <a href="#changes"></a>. </p>
