Nicolas, > > Then there is the whole archive metadata. This requires a wider audience > agreement. On the other side, there are less structural constraints, which > may make the progress easier. as you are aware, we are currently working to generate a standardized description of datasets [1], which incorporates the needs of several communities (HCLS, BioDBCore, Bio2RDF, OpenPhacts, identifiers.org, integbio). Our work will extend that of openphacts's dataset description [2], along with their editor [3] and validator. We would be interested in hearing about the fields that you want to collect information on! m.
