Welcome to OpenCatalogi! This documentation will help you get started with using the platform as a regular user. If you're looking for technical documentation, please check out our Developer Guide or Administrator Guide.
The core building block of OpenCatalogi is the Publication, which is based on the DCAT (Data Catalog Vocabulary) standard. A publication can be thought of as a digital dossier or case file that contains:
- Metadata describing the publication
- Optional files and documents that are being published
- Links to related publications or external resources
Publications live within Catalogs, which are collections of related publications. A catalog might represent an organization, department, or topic area.
