Doodle Poll for on-line meeting to plan for joint session at P8
All, The metadata groups will have a joint session at P8 in Denver on during Breakout 3, Thursday, September 15 Sept, 16:00 - 17:30 We would like some help to plan this session so I've created a Doodle poll to see what time would work for the most. We have members in many different time zones so it may mean 2 meetings. I've enabled time zone support to make it easier. Here's the link to the poll: http://doodle.com/poll/hkbx4hnk2kcmwhfz1 | Add new comment

Requirements specification for the Metadata Standards Catalog
by Alex Ball
Very soon we will begin the actual work of implementing the new Metadata Standards Catalog. Before we do that, we need to make absolutely sure what we want the Catalog to do. Back in March and April, we asked you to give us user stories describing what how you might use the Catalog. Thank you very much if you contributed, we valued each and every one. We have looked through them all and on that basis we have come up with a requirements specification for the Catalog.0 | Add new comment

Last chance: what do you want from the Metadata Standards Catalog?
by Alex Ball
Today is the last day for letting us know how you would want to use the Metadata Standards Catalog, and what you would expect it to do. Back in March, we asked you to provide *user stories*: short, one-sentence descriptions of how someone, in a particular role, might use the catalog, and why. So far we have received 21 of these user stories, which is fantastic. They will be invaluable as we work out what functionality the catalog will support and how we can achieve that, so thank you very much for those.0 | Add new comment

Over the next few months, we have to decide what functionality the Metadata Standards Catalog will support. We already have some ideas, as you can see in our Case Statement, but we want to hear your ideas and what your priorities are.0 | Add new comment

Funding for metadata support in biomedical software

Discussion in last Thursday's session at the plenary in Paris highlighted the importance of support for metadata in software tools used by biomedical researchers. I mentioned a request for applications in this area recently issued by the NIH BD2K program. The full details are available at the following link. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-15-017.html Posting this to all three IG/WGs that participated in the session.0 | Add new comment
