> Scientific research, in nearly every domain, increasingly relies on  
> digital
> information structures for collecting data, collaborating and  
> disseminating
> findings.  This change has introduced many new challenges and  
> opportunities for
> collecting, preserving, accessing, using, and sharing research  
> data.  Digital
> libraries, repositories, and many types of information centers are  
> seeking
> metadata solutions addressing these data management challenges and for
> advancing the scientific enterprise. Library and information science  
> educators
> are enhancing curriculum offerings to include metadata courses, and  
> integrating
> these offerings into digital curation programs.  Additionally,  
> libraries and
> specialized communities are developing and promoting metadata  
> standards to
> support data sharing.  This special issue of JLM presents *metadata*  
> trends and
> practices, research and development activities, collaborations, and  
> educational
> initiatives supporting curation, lifecycle management, and use of  
> digital data
> stored in library, repository, and related environments.
