Dataset: A Framework for the Thematic Annotation of Open Government Data

The data came from data.europa.eu. This portal serves as a centralized access point to open data published by both European Union institutions and member states. The metadata describing the datasets is compliant with the DCAT-AP vocabulary and can be queried through an SPARQL end-point. In July 2022 we developed a harvester program to create a corpus of 29,793 metadata records in RDF format containing title (dct:title), description (dct:description), theme (dcat:theme) and keyword (dcat:keyword) properties. We also restricted the download to the metadata records declaring the use of English as language, and having at least one title and one description in English.
