GHGA held a metadata workshop

Hosted by Susanne Motameny and Koray Kirli, invited external guest speakers and specialists from within GHGA presented different aspects around the usage of metadata and ontologies. Pier Luigi Buttigieg, Melanie Forche and Beatrix Tettmann (all from the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration Plattform HMC) were joined by Mallory Freeberg from EGA to share their experience, use cases of ontologies and metadata models they work with. GHGA team members Koray Kirli and Deepak Unni presented work from their previous employment on the 4DN data portal and the monarch initiative, respectively.

The input and discussions around the relevance of these models for the design of GHGA’s infrastructure will inform the strategy for the implementation of metadata models within GHGA.
