DESCRIPTION:On the 13th of April\, 2023\, ELIXIR-Estonia will hold a data m
 anagement lecture: Metadata and README. This lecture will be held in Engli
 sh and will be held online. In general\, metadata is the descriptive infor
 mation about your data. However\, what exactly is metadata\, and how much 
 of it should be included with your data? \n\nGood metadata can make up for
  human fallibilities. People forget and misplace things and leave research
  projects with their knowledge of the research methodology and the data. M
 etadata ensures that we will be able to find the data\, use it\, preserve 
 and reuse it in the future.\n\nFinding Data: Metadata makes it much easier
  to find relevant data. Most searches are done using text (like a Google s
 earch)\, so formats like audio\, images\, and video are limited unless tex
 t metadata is available. Metadata also makes text documents easier to find
  because it explains exactly what the document is about.\nUsing Data: To u
 se a dataset\, researchers need to understand how the data is structured\,
  the definitions of terms used\, how it was collected\, and how it should 
 be read.\nReusing Data: Researchers often want to reuse data collected for
  another project for their own project. The data still needs to be found a
 nd used\, but often at a higher level of trust and understanding. Reusing 
 data usually requires careful preservation and documentation of the metada
 ta.\nThis means that the metadata provides additional information that hel
 ps data consumers better to understand the meaning and the structure of th
 e dataset and to clarify other issues\, such as rights and license terms\,
  the organization that generated the data\, data quality\, data access met
 hods\, and the update schedule of datasets. Additionally\, metadata also g
 ives information about the data in general. What an actual metadata file i
 ncludes varies between disciplines and types of data you are working with.
  However\, the documentation for your data should contain the minimum info
 rmation required to be able to reuse (or understand) the data described. \
 n\nIn the lecture\, we will be going over what exactly metadata is\, the m
 inimum information that should be included with each of the scientific res
 ults you are sharing\, and how exactly you can write a README file.
