Brief overview
October 2012, first Plenary, low-hanging fruit, …
“…develop a collaborative, open directory of metadata standards applicable to scientific data” Stakeholders Not metadata a catalog of repositories
Connecting with DCC (Digital Curation Center)• Disciplinary Metadata Directory

Research Data Alliance / Plenary 2 - September 16-18 , 2013
Candidate Metadata WG Driving question/s refined:
1. What functions do stakeholder wish to do on the data? 2. How can metadata support these functions?
Stakeholders: users of research data
Action Items1. Revise case statement including timeline (1 month)2. Move forward with 2 phases (12 to 18 months)
Phase 1: Enhance the DCC directory of metadata standards (6 months)• Move to open environment, supporting community driven contributions• Implement community driven framework for feedback
Phase 2: Build on community engagement (phase 1) to identify recommended practices for metadata use
Gather data on who use what, community rating/feedback/interaction
Phase 3: Ten years out, metadata may no longer be a word3. Conduct assessments with each phase4. Log longer term goals
Research Data Alliance / Plenary 2 - September 16-18 , 2013
1. Interoperability• research datasets within and across
domains2. Universal schemes/models
• necessary, feasible or desirable3. Metadata Directory sustainability
• open and participatory directories
CAMP-4-DATA Workshop
Research Data Alliance / Plenary 2 - September 16-18 , 2013
MASDIR goals, questions, discussion & engagement
To be – 2 years out, 10 years out Directory, why, what should it do? An open directory What is the best platform?
As is…..current status… DCC (Digital Curation Center) Disciplinary Metadata Directory
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards Any other directories? How could we aid/feed/make accessible? DCC is for humans should/could we make it machine accessible?
use cases, should this be an emphasis mapping, save people from duplicative efforts, converters
Research Data Alliance / Plenary 2 - September 16-18 , 2013
MASDIR goals, questions, discussion & engagement
Bridging the gap … between “as is” and “to be” Defining concrete steps Do you see standards that are missing? What are you willing to do?
– Low barriers to get stuff in the directory Form for DCC input
– Would you fill in the form for your organization, discipline, country, other
– Additional data to collect: DCC broken links, news… Rating of standards, recommender systems
