DCAT-AP-SE is a metadata specification introduced for the purpose of describing datasets. More specifically, DCAT-AP-SE is a Swedish adaption (a profile) of the European metadata specification DCAT-AP. DCAT-AP in turn, is an adaption (profile) of the W3C recommendation DCAT.

The diagram below shows only the primary classes, their relationships and their mandatory and recommended properties. Note that for readability, classes and properties are introduced using friendly labels in both headings and the diagram below. The actual metadata expressions, i.e. the full URIs of classes and properties, are listed in the details under each respective heading.
