[Ted Habermann]

Hello all,

planning on submitting two documentation related sessions for summer ESIP.
Drafts below... Comments / speakers welcome of course!

*FAIR Metadata*

The FAIR principles provide high-level guidance for making data findable,
accessible, interoperable, and reusable. Some of these principles describe
repository characteristics and practices while others describe data and
metadata characteristics. The metadata characteristics are described in
very broad terms like “rich metadata”, “a plurality of accurate and
relevant attributes”, and “detailed provenance”. Data providers in the ESIP
community use many metadata dialects to serves many disciplines.
Implementing the FAIR Principles in this community requires understanding
specific metadata practices and elements that support these broad
disciplines. The session will initiate a discussion of how this might be
done with examples from several commonly used metadata dialects.



*Metadata Evaluation*

ESIP community members are actively working throughout the data life cycle
from data management planning to collection and creation to archiving,
discovery, and data reuse. They use many metadata dialects to address
multiple data use cases and are exposed to metadata requirements and
recommendations from many organizations, disciplines, and communities.
Using these recommendations to guide metadata improvement requires being
able to evaluate existing metadata collections with respect to these
recommendations. We will present metadata evaluation tools being developed
and used by ESIP members with the goal of understanding and improving their
utility across ESIP.
