The European open data portal is possibly the biggest open data portal in the world with more than one million free datasets coming from 36 countries.
One of the mechanisms to access its data is the use of the standard of DCAT-AP standard 2.0 which defines its catalogue of resources.
In the repository pending there are two data models, in progress to connect a dataset and a distribution as an additional resource by using NGSI. The idea is to create a script to map this resource into NGSI.
Every data model has a directory with examples of the payloads (json and jsonld) in key-values and normalized formats.
But it also includes examples of csv that it could help to connect the data models for other platforms.
Now, these examples are re-created automatically once a day.
The naming convention for these examples are the same name of the original payload plus a .csv suffix.
An example for the Battery data model examples.
Best.
In the upper menu (option Search descriptions) there is a searchable database of the descriptions for all the properties across the different data models.
Try it out here.
This DDBB is updated daily.
In order to align the data model for museum inside the subject of PointOf Interest with the Schema.org regarding the opening hours specification, it has been modified to make it compliant with it.
in fact, this translation of schema.org it has become part of the common shared elements of the data models available in the section DateTime-commons at the common-schema.json.
1.- It is just a technical improvement but now you can access everything in this site with https://data-models.fiware.org.
2.- The issue form has also been improved with new options but simplified structure.
Check it out and please report any issue.

Every subject had a file named CONTRIBUTORS.md which compiles all contributors to the different data models in this subject. However, from the point of view of the management, it was not a structured format. Due to this, it is going to be replaced with a new file named CONTRIBUTORS.yaml with the same info but structured so we could manage properly and answer questions like:
Now there is also a field for allocating comments.
The format is friendly enough to be simply edited but at the same time, it can be automatically processed.
Next week CONTRIBUTORS.md will be removed from the different repos.
There is a new common section, named “DateTime-Commons“, in the file common-schema.json (the one which is partially included into most of the data models) because it compiles some shared elements (like Location-Commons or GSMA-Commons).
This section includes the first element, which is the mapping into a property (type object) of the schema.org class OpeningHoursSpecification. (see below)
So whenever there is an opening hours specification this would be the chosen format. (It is true that there is a similar property named OpeningHours, also mapped in schema.org) that it is only a text (oriented to be printed more than queried).
It only affects the museum data model that it will be updated after gathering the feedback of the contributors.
The new section included.
“DateTime-Commons”: {
“type”: “object”,
“description” : “All date-time elements in data models unless explicitly stated are ISO 8601 compliant”,
“properties”: {
“openingHoursSpecification”: {
“type”: “array”,
“description”: “A structured value providing information about the opening hours of a place or a certain service inside a place.”,
“items”: {
“properties”: {
“opens”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“closes”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“dayOfWeek”: {
“type”: “string”,
“enum”: [
“Monday”,
“Tuesday”,
“Wednesday”,
“Thursday”,
“Friday”,
“Saturday”,
“Sunday”,
“PublicHolidays”
]
},
“validFrom”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“validThrough”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
}
}
},
“minItems”: 1
}
}
See it in the original file common-schema.json.
Now it is based on a responsive interface with these options:
In order to create a new data model is always interesting what others have done in order copy and to maintain interoperability.
That’s why we have available a database with all attributes and enumerations across all data models. 
Now it’s updated daily and the number of occurrences is also available.
The new domain of Smart Destination includes now data models from Weather and Point of Interest. They are available as submodules.
The submodules are independent repositories and therefore its evolution will help Smart Destination to keep updated with the new needs.
