Beschreibung

Metadata harmonisation is a collective action problem. In this workshop our goal is to bring together data stewards, infrastructure providers, and researchers to share practical experiences in improving metadata quality, and co-identify actionable next steps toward harmonized metadata practices.

The workshop builds on our analysis of metadata provided, previous workshops, and one-on-one counselling sessions.

Intended Outcomes:

The workshop will:

  • present a summary of insights gathered from community workshops and one-on-one provider counseling,

  • provide short provider case reflections illustrating practical harmonization efforts (successes and challenges),

  • facilitate an interactive group exchange on lessons learned, remaining obstacles, and community-identified priorities,

  • synthesize outcomes into a joint set of next steps for HMC and providers, and shared recommendations.

Expected results:

Shared understanding of practical paths to improve metadata in provider contexts,

A curated list of next steps and recommendations for provider networks and HMC,

Strengthened network of practitioners engaged in metadata harmonization.
