The Swiss DCAT-AP-CH interoperability metadata template and its DCAT export have been updated 🇨🇭

They are now fully compatible with the latest version of DCAT-AP-CH (v2) and its recent updates.🚀 By using this metadata template, your portals will be fully harvestable by opendataswiss, the Swiss national portal. Indeed, opendataswiss has recently updated its metadata validation system in line with DCAT-AP-CH v2.⚠️ Until opendataswiss migrates to opendata.swiss next (planned for 2026), importing non-compliant metadata on opendataswiss will remain possible but will trigger error emails. We therefore recommend updating your DCAT-AP-CH metadata now for optimal harvesting.💡 What should you pay particular attention to?opendataswiss checks are now more thorough. All mandatory metadata must be present and accurate. The compliance of recommended and optional properties, if provided, is also checked. Make sure to review the completeness and accuracy of your metadata.  the dct:license metadata replaces dct:rights. The dct:license metadata refers to the terms of use of datasets on opendataswi

Time down to the secondOpen

We have a few datasets that are logs of time - telemetry sensors is an example.  At this point in time we can only display data up to a minute level and want to be able to display (and have exportable) to the second.

Filters on custom view/page but have one visual ignore a particular selection

I have a page:https://cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/dataset/test-emergency-admissions-for-copd-icp-outcomes-framework-birmingham-and-solihull-wards/insightWhich has 4 filters on that I want t o affect the majority of the visuals. However, for the map I want this to ignore anything made to the 3rd filter “area_name” but respect all other filters. How can I achieve this?I have tried the following either as its own context or as part of the main one at the start of the page but it just wont listen<ods-dataset-context context="mapctx" mapctx-dataset="{{ ctx.dataset.datasetid }}" mapctx-parameters="{ 'refine.date'= ctx.parameters['refine.date'], 'refine.time_period_range'= ctx.parameters['refine.time_period_range'], 'refine.ethnicity'= ctx.parameters['refine.ethnicity'], 'refine.imd':'ALL' }">

Favourite/Subscribed dataset functionalityOpen

Hi!Im aware that users can subscribe to datasets, given us a easy method to contact, but could we possible add a subscribed filter for users within the data catalogue? This way users can take advantage of the feature as a “favourite” kind of functionality, and aid with their navigation. I think it would also increase the % of users that then subscribe to datasets, making it easier for us as admins

Upcoming update to the FTP/SFTP extraction process (action required) ⏳

From September 30, our extraction system for FTP and SFTP sources will be updated to ensure better consistency between your published datasets and their original source.🔎 What’s changingCurrently, extracted files are cached even if they are deleted from the source. With the new process, only files that are present in your external source at the time of republishing will be kept. Deleted files will no longer be retained in Opendatasoft.👉 Actions to take before September 30If there are deleted files still stored in your cache, you can:Keep them by adding them back to your source, or by exporting your current dataset and reintegrating it into the source. Permanently delete them by clearing the cache for the relevant datasets, starting from a clean slate.         🚀 Benefits of this updateFaster and smoother loading in the back office Data is always aligned with your external source Improved traceability of extraction errors💡 Need help?Contact your Customer Success Manager, our Support

Secure datasets markerOpen

It would be great for datasets which are not set to public to be marked as “private” on the Explore page view.Currently as an administrator, I have to click “Edit” and then to go to the security tab to see if this is set to be on:Access restricted to allowed users and groupsIt would be awesome if on the Explore page it had some sort of corner marker or indication that the dataset is in someway restricted.A couple of example options to mark a dataset

Shaping data to work better with the AI tools

Does anyone have any tips on how to shape data in our portals to work better with the AI tools? The concern from our leadership is someone will ask a question and if the data contains too many filterable items it could return an incorrect result.Is there any guidelines on how to better shape the data to make it easier for AI to understand and provide results?

Bonjour, la gestion multilingue n’est possible que pour 6 métadonnées du schéma standard ODS et pour aucunes métadonnées des schémas spécifiques DCAT ou autre.A Bruxelles, nous devons publier ces métadonnées en français et en néerlandais (langues locales officielles) et idéalement en anglais (langue internationale) et permettre aux utilisateurs ou autres institutions belges et européennes de les harvester.Est-ce que des développements sont prévus au niveau de la gestion multilingue des métadonnées chez tous clients Opendatasoft ?Comment configurer du mapping automatique de champs du schéma standard vers un schéma spécifique ?Merci d’avance pour votre réponse,Nadia
