All participants started the testing of the XSLT transformation, some of them also revising the GeoDCAT-AP v3 specification. Some participants already obtained the first preliminary results, and several highlights were shared with the MIG-T audience.

Synergies with the 'DCAT-AP schema plug-in integration in GeoNetwork' working group, led by Metadata Vlaanderen (BE), were established. In particular, an active collaboration on the identification and agreement of a High-Value Datasets tagging good practice candidate in ISO metadata. A final candidate good practice was shared by the Metadata Vlaanderen representive with the MIG-T, with the aim to initiate a potential endorsement process.
