Report on the first NFDI Metadata Workshop
Metadata is a topic of significant interest across all consortia, serving as a crucial link between them. When properly addressed, it enables consortia to share their specific needs and experiences, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.This report summarizes the outcomes of the first NFDI Metadata Workshop, which took place on January 14-15, 2025, in Dresden, and was organized by the Taskforce Metadata. The workshop marked the beginning of a series of NFDI-wide metadata discussions aimed at developing joint recommendations for metadata schemas for datasets and the use of re3data as a central registry for repositories.
