Webinar@AIMS_Metadata as Standard: improving Interoperability through the Research Data Alliance



 

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) has developed a Catalogue of Metadata standards and tools aimed at researchers and those who support them. In its new version, the Metadata Standards Catalog will provide much greater detail about metadata standards and tools, and through its new API - it will be usable within other applications. It will also provide a platform for furthering the work of the RDA Metadata Interest Group, which is seeking to improve the interoperability of metadata in different standards by working towards semi-automatically generated converters.
