Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza has been at Future Labs Live in Basel this week, and has presented her talk “Mirror mirror on the wall, how do I make the FAIRest metadata of them all?”
FAIR Data should have relevant metadata, instructions, and information that enables others to re-use, replicate, reproduce and repurpose as appropriate. However, this is nowhere near as simple as it sounds. What are the optimum schemas to use? How do we identify the domain level metadata that is required? What of this metadata can be extracted easily and automatically, and what requires a much higher level of intelligence? Join me to venture down the rabbit hole of metadata identification and extraction in an endless quest to make the FAIRest metadata in the land.
