Key Features of HealthDCAT-AP:
🔹 Health-specific metadata elements to address the unique needs of health data sharing.
🔹 Full alignment with EU regulations (GDPR, EHDS) and compatibility with the broader DCAT-AP framework within EU Data Spaces.
Lessons learned & next Steps:
🔹 Ongoing development in the TEHDAS2 framework.
🔹 Defining roles for data holders and HDABs in metadata management.
🔹 Refining the schema with user feedback.
🔹 Improving health dataset catalogues based on pilot insights.
🔹 Strengthening collaboration between national and EU-level catalogues.
