Hi Kaylin,
The Metadata Enhancement Task Force, a sub-committee of the Research
Data Alliance Data Discovery Paradigms Interest Group, is investigating
methods for auto-generating structured metadata. Enhancing the metadata
records associated with research data improves search and supports
automation services such as data processing workflows.
The Task Force is currently developing a survey to collect information
on methods and tools for auto-generating metadata, including related
information such as inputs and outputs of each method – i.e., what
source materials are being leveraged and what kind of metadata is being
generated from them, and high-level use cases for the metadata being
generated.
Since you are currently working on metadata enhancement methods we would
welcome your participation in one of two ways:  1) Join our task force
and help us in conducting our investigation; and/or 2) participate in
our survey about automated methods, tools and techniques for metadata
enhancement.
Please indicate your interest by replying to this message, or directly
emailing ***@***.***. If you would like only to participate in
our survey, we will send you a link when the survey is ready. We look
forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much,
Beth Huffer and SiriJodha Khalsa
