| Charter: | The DCMI Science and Metadata Community is a forum for individuals and organizations to exchange information and knowledge about metadata describing scientific data (data methodologically collected for research, analysis, tracking, forecasting, and other uses). The Community focuses on metadata challenges specific to scientific data curation, and solutions that will benefit from the architecture and global reach of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. |
2010-06-26, The DC-SAM Community met in Seoul at the DC-2009 Conference, on Tuesday October 13th. Slides presented at the meeting by co-moderator Stuart Weibel are now available.
2009-03-31, The DCMI Science and Metadata Community has installed a Wiki at http://purl.org/dc/science. The wiki is open to all community members, and will develop collaboratively. To access and contribute to the wiki, please select "create account" in the upper-right-hand corner. Community members may want to list their name under people. All pages are open, except the publications page; please send items to list on the publications page to "scarrier at email dot unc dot edu".
2009-02-10, Sarah W. Carrier, Metadata Research Center Doctoral Fellow, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will serve as the documentation coordinator for the DCMI Science and Metadata community. Her contact information is: scarrier (at) email (dot) unc (dot) edu.
2009-02-10, Summary notes of the Berlin workshop Metadata for Scientific Datasets are now available.
Funders of scientific research are increasingly attentive to the management of scientific data so that the full value of research investments can be realized and preserved. Doing so requires attention to the description and structure of datasets and to vocabularies for supporting data preservation, reuse, and repurposing.
The DCMI Science and Metadata Community is a forum for individuals and organizations to exchange information and knowledge about metadata describing scientific data (data methodologically collected for research, analysis, tracking, forecasting, and other uses). The Community focuses on metadata challenges specific to scientific data curation, and solutions that will benefit from the architecture and global reach of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
The central challenges include:
An initial deliverable of the group includes a survey of existing standards and metadata elements used to describe datasets, which will form the basis for community discussion and a work agenda to be initiated at DC-2009.
