EPOS Metadata Training: Online Training
- Daniele Bailo (INGV)
- Rossana Paciello (INGV)
Description
The training will begin by elucidating the fundamental architecture of a 3 Tier distributed data infrastructure with a specific focus on the EPOS case, to give participants a clear understanding of the framework within which metadata operates. We will then delve into the metadata, covering its creation, curation, and application in describing heterogeneous assets such as datasets, web services, and software by means of extensions of well known standards like EPOS-DCAT-AP. We will illustrate the role of metadata for data integration, emphasizing the semantic aspects and their vital role in enhancing data interoperability. Practical examples will be provided to capture the basic features of a data integration system and how the combination of metadata, semantics and web-services contributes to a seamless user experience through a dedicated graphical user interface.
