Italy's national repository of territorial data RNDT published the "GeoDCAT-AP implementation Italian guidelines". This type of Data Catalogue Vocabulary (DCAT) can be considered a national extension of the GeoDCAT-AP and takes into account the Italian extensions to the INSPIRE metadata profile and the DCAT-AP. The published specifications help to bridge the
