Crosscut Metadata Repository

Tools and documentation for encoding CFDE-DCC metadata into DATS JSON.

Metadata Model

The aim of the crosscut metadata model is to provide a uniform encoding of metadata gathered from the CFDE data repositories. The crosscut metadata model is based on a JSON-LD encoding of DATS. DATS, the DatA Tag Suite data model, was developed through the Big Data To Knowledge (BD2K) initiative to support dataset discoverability. Several extensions to DATS, along with schema.org and OBO Foundry-based JSON-LD context files, have been developed to support the crosscut metadata model. Some of these extensions and context files can be found in the DATS GitHub repository at https://github.com/datatagsuite.
