This page is dedicated to provide information on open-source tools to support Member States in implementing the BRegDCAT-AP specification and data model. Find below a list of BRegDCAT-AP tools and click on them to find information on description, use-cases, deployment and adaptability.
BRegDCAT-AP Editor
[This tool is archived. This means that the tool is no longer actively maintained by SEMIC, but still available for use at own risk.]
By means of a user-friendly web form, public administrations will be able to describe their data descriptions following the BRegDCAT-AP only once, and allow sharing the descriptions of several portals by exporting these descriptions in interoperable machine-readable formats.

BRegDCAT-AP Validator
[This tool has been moved to the Interoperability Test Bed and can be accessed via this link.]
By using this tool, public administrations will be able to check the compliance of their descriptions against the data requirements of the BRegDCAT-AP. This will allow them to get feedback on how to harmonise their descriptions by identifying and fixing inconsistencies, errors, missing mandatory information, etc., and will improve the quality of the data.

BRegDCAT-AP Harvester
[This tool is archived. This means that the tool is no longer actively maintained by SEMIC, but still available for use at own risk.]
Instead of manually updating the descriptions owned by different competent authorities on multiple levels of administration (national, regional, local) on a central catalogue, the harvester will allow public administrations to get the data in a faster, more efficient and (semi-)automatic way. This will thus ease the creation of an integrated view on data in base registries provided within a specific country or region.
