In Part 1 you imported a DCAT register for open data. In this tutorial you make its datasets findable: you scope a catalog to the register, set one date field that controls visibility, and expose the catalog as a DCAT-AP-NL feed. National portals like data.overheid.nl harvest that feed.

The first three parts of this series set up the registers, the files, and a public catalog for Dutch open-government data. Conduction also has a three-tutorial pipeline that teaches the same three apps from the ground up, end to end, on the canonical Pet Store sample:

1. Model and manage your data with OpenRegister — registers, schemas, relations, objects, search, versioning, permissions.
2. Pull external data into your register with Integriq — a source, a mapping, and a scheduled synchronisation.
3. Publish a public catalog with OpenCatalogi — scope a catalog, publish with a date rule, expose a DCAT-AP-NL feed.

This capstone is the Woo & DCAT overlay on that pipeline. Rather than repeat the mechanics, it points you at each deep tutorial and then layers the open-government specifics on top: the canonical registers you import instead of hand-building, the open-data source you map to a Dataset, and the DCAT-AP-NL feed that national portals harvest. The shape is identical to the Pet Store chain — grab data from a source, and publish it on a catalog — only the domain changes.

The OpenWoo community meets every second Tuesday of the month. Vendors (Conduction, Xxllnc, OpenGemeenten, SHIFT2, Acato, Notubiz, iO), municipalities in production or acceptance, and KOOP share progress, blockers, and the next slice of the roadmap. Below are all recorded sessions since late 2023.

A Woo publication without files is metadata without evidence. In this tutorial you attach documents to a publication through the OpenRegister interface, choose which ones are public, and remove them again. An appendix covers the API, for scripts and for files too large for a browser upload.

The Dutch Open Government Act (Woo) asks government bodies to publish documents in set information categories. Open data is published as datasets in the DCAT-AP-NL standard. OpenRegister stores both. In this tutorial you import two registers, the Woo register and a DCAT register, using only the OpenRegister interface.
