How do we use metadata to plug your Physical Science data or software into PSDI?
On 11th December 2025, the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) hosted a webinar titled “How do we use metadata to plug your Physical Science data or software into PSDI?”, presented by Dr Aileen Day. This webinar introduces the first version of the PSDI launched in spring 2025, explaining how to integrate physical sciences resources like data, services, tools, and guidance into its resource catalogue and cross-data search using PSDI’s metadata framework.
For those who missed the live session or wish to revisit the discussion, the full webinar is available on our YouTube channel.

Abstract: This webinar explores the data auditing process behind the Physical Chemistry Properties data collection. It highlights surprising errors found in trusted sources, the methodologies that were explored, and includes a very persuasive argument for why auditing isn’t just housekeeping – it’s key for building reliable data collections without which we won’t have reliable science.
