The GDNG extension to DPV, covering 54 identified terms, shipped as a draft alongside DPV version 2.3 on 25 February 2026
The German Health Data Use Act (GDNG) extension to the Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV) — documented, per the authors, in a pair of bilingual German/English HTML pages built from the same underlying RDF and "containing the same amount of information about the 54 identified terms" — was released as a draft extension alongside DPV version 2.3 on 25 February 2026, shipping in the same release as a parallel European Health Data Space (EHDS) extension and a shared "sector-health" extension (Flake, Henke, Kuntz, Löbe, Pandit & Draeger, arXiv:2610.37527, 2026). The paper names an explicit reason the extension stays in draft rather than final status: GDNG §8 imposes a research-registration obligation — registering health-data research projects in a WHO primary-registry network and publishing their results — that the vocabulary does not yet model, the authors writing that "there is currently no concept that captures the exact registration or publication obligations laid down by the GDNG."
