Maggot: An ecosystem for sharing metadata within the web of FAIR Data
« Background: Descriptive metadata are crucial for the discovery, reporting and mobilisation of research datasets. Addressing all metadata issues within the Data Management Plan often poses challenges for data producers. Organising and documenting data within data storage entails creating various descriptive metadata. Subsequently, data sharing involves ensuring metadata interoperability in alignment with FAIR principles. Given the tangible nature of these challenges, a real need for management tools has to be addressed to assist data managers to the fullest extent. Moreover, these tools have to meet data producers requirements and be user-friendly as well with minimal training as prerequisites.
Results: We developed Maggot which stands for Metadata Aggregation on Data Storage, specifically designed to annotate datasets by generating metadata files to be linked into storage spaces. (…) »
