3.5: Agency Publishing Mechanisms

An agency will have three mechanisms to publish metadata records to Data.gov.

Other Information:

These three mechanisms are: 1. The Dataset Management System – this is a protected website only accessible by authorized users as described previously. This website will enable agencies to publish metadata records to the Data.gov catalog in accordance with the agency’s dissemination process. 2. A Publisher API – an application programming interface that will allow an agency the ability to programmatically submit one or more records into the Data.gov catalog. 3. A Metadata Feed – if an agency desires to control publishing of metadata records on their own websites, the Data.gov PMO harvesting service will read the metadata feed and publish the records to the Data.gov catalog. The metadata feed will be a file in a standard feed format like Really Simple Syndication (RSS) or the Atom Syndication format.
