[Esip-usability] methods for auto-generating structured metadata

[Beth Huffer]

Hello,

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.

If you are currently working on metadata enhancement methods, or are 
interested in finding out more about work being done in this area, 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 beth at lingualogica.net. 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
