In cooperation with the UNC SILS Metadata Research Center and the Research Data Alliance students at UNC SILS are gathering information about metadata standards that apply to scientific data. The aim of this is achieve a short term goal of the Research Data Alliance's Metadata Standards Directory Working Group to:
Develop a prototype wiki-based directory (RDA Metadata Directory) listing
metadata standards applicable to scientific data. The initial emphasis will
be on widely-used and domain community- endorsed metadata standards and
schemas with significant interoperation / re-use capability.
Information submitted to this project will be integrated with similar information from the Digital Curation Center to prototype and build a sustainable platform for sharing and exposing information about metadata standards.
If you have previously submitted information to our collection: check the Digital Curation Center's directory of standards for science data at:
