Persistent Identifiers for Projects Community Dialogue Workshop
The Local Contexts team recently joined a community dialogue session hosted by DataCite in partnership with Metadata Game Changers. This session engaged participants from the Life Sciences and Astronomy communities to co-develop metadata enhancements that support the development and use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for instruments and projects.
The dialogue focused on a range of community-developed project metadata schemas, including RAiD, Local Contexts, Citizen Science, and DataCite. Key topics discussed included:
- Contributors and creators
- Spatial and temporal coverage
- Rights, access, and traditional knowledge
- Funder and grant metadata
- Connections to project outputs
These discussions are part of the first phase of a larger project recently launched by DataCite. Feedback and proposed metadata enhancements gathered during the session will directly inform future prototype developments designed by DataCite.
Facilitators included:
- Erin Robinson (Metadata Game Changers)
- Ted Habermann (Metadata Game Changers)
- Jamaica Jones (University of Pittsburgh)
