Metadata for Scientific Data Integrity: A 5 Step Training
The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) is all about boosting the quality of research data with the power of metadata – and we're bringing this approach to life across the entire Helmholtz Association! In this context, HMC is excited to offer the course “Metadata for Scientific Data Integrity: A 5 Step Training” as part of the HIDS Data Science course portfolio.
This course is designed for scientists from the scientific discipline Energy, especially those working with datasets. The course shows how important it is to annotate your data with standardized metadata to make it findable and reusable, thereby increasing the reach and impact of your research. The course also provides a practical example of registering metadata on the Open Energy Platform, which defines its own standards and ontology.While the course is open to everyone interested, it is particularly aimed at researchers in the Energy domain seeking to move beyond silo thinking.
Learning Goals
By the end of the course, you will be able to annotate your data within the open energy platform, using the oemetastring-standard.
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge needed.
Target Group
Scientists from the scientific discipline Energy
