[shortened from below]

Recommendation

We recommend to data repositories to use one or more of the following metadata schemas as export formats to exchange metadata:

- DataCite Schema 4.5. for general metadata

- ISO 191XX for geospatial data

- schema.org

- DCAT v3 (for compatibility with EOSC recommendations)

Not all of these schemas cover all desired metadata sufficiently, so we are defining some implementation details in the sub-chapters of this recommendation.

We also aim to provide converters based on established crosswalks between these schemas.
