Hi PID folks -
In collaboration with DataCite, Metadata Game Changers is facilitating a community dialogue virtual session on project metadata next week. This dialogue is designed to engage the broader life science and astronomy communities in collaboratively identifying needs for metadata enhancements to describe projects.
The Project Dialogue will feature presentations from Local Contexts, CitSci.org, RAiD, and an overview of project metadata in DataCite. Following the landscape overview, we will have small group discussions about the challenges and opportunities describing projects.
We invite metadata creators and users, project leaders, funders, and anyone with a project application process to join us and actively advance infrastructure solutions to identify, describe, discover, and track the impact of projects across domain communities. A primary focus of the dialogue is to collaboratively identify the needs of the life sciences and astronomy communities to inform future infrastructure development.
To this end, we invite you to register today for the upcoming virtual dialogue. I’ve shared more information below.

About the DataCite RLF Project: The Richard Lounsbery Foundation generously funds this Dialogue. By fostering an interdisciplinary space for discussion, the dialogue aims to identify challenges in project metadata accessibility and transparency across the life science and astronomy communities. This dialogue is the second of two and represents the first phase of the RLF DataCite Project. Insights, feedback, and proposed metadata enhancements gathered during this dialogue will inform subsequent prototype developments designed by DataCite.
