SusCity is a MIT Portugal project that falls within the scope of smart cities. One of its tasks aims
to research and develop metadata artefacts to be used in the scope of a Linked Open Data
platform. In this article, we report the process and results associated with the development of the
following metadata artefacts: an application profile, a metadata schema and four controlled
vocabularies. The application field is the energy certification of buildings. For the development of
the application profile, we inspired ourselves in the Me4MAP method although we did not use it
thoroughly. The creation of the metadata schema and controlled vocabularies involved the use of
Wikidata, so all new terms (RDFS classes and properties and SKOS concepts) are related to
Wikidata terms. The results include the application profile, the metadata schema and the
controlled vocabularies. The application profile has 13 properties, four of which are new. The
controlled vocabulary on measures for energy performance has 22 new terms spread over four
levels. The remaining controlled vocabularies just hold a few terms each. All the artefacts are
open to the community for use and reuse.(FCT/MITP-TB/CS/0026/2013)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
