Role of service metadata in the EDP, in HVD-reporting and in this pilot?

[hallinpihlatie]

The provision of service metadata is compulsory according to the metadata profile which is being recommended to use for HVD reporting DCAT-AP High Value Datasets (overview.jpg (1852×804)). However, you are only be able to search for HVD and other datasets in the European Data Portal, not services.

Is there development going on to support search for service metadata in EDP? Does service metadata have a clear role i HVD reporting and in the future or is more a matter of preserving what they contain in case they exist? If the latter, perhaps we can focus on the dataset metadata in the first place priority and time table wise.
