## What it is
Project Open Data is the US government's Open Data Policy appendix (Managing Information as an Asset), including the DCAT-US metadata schema, maintained as a living open-source document. It has been superseded by Resources.data.gov and is being archived.

## Use cases
- find the DCAT-US metadata schema specification
- learn about US federal open data policy requirements
- understand how agencies should manage data as an asset
- reference the original open data policy appendix
- trace where open data policy guidance moved to resources.data.gov

## When to choose
- you need historical or archival reference to the original Project Open Data policy
- you are researching the evolution of US federal open data policy or DCAT-US schema

## When to avoid
- you need current open data policy guidance, tools, or schema standards — use resources.data.gov instead
- you want actively maintained DCAT-US schema development

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, data-science
- domain: e-government, documentation
- platform: -
- tags: open-data-policy, dcat-us, government, metadata-schema, archived, public-domain, open-data, data-engineering, web-server
