Task Force Metadata
The Task Force Metadata consists of metadata enthusiasts from various disciplines within the NFDI. It deals with the key topic of metadata standards and metadata harmonisation and is dedicated to defining recommendations for comprehensive NFDI metadata standards. Through its work, the task force is committed to the goals set out in §1d of the Federal-State Agreement and the NFDI Strategy 2025/2026.
The TF Metadata aims to promote the use and adoption of existing and developed (interdisciplinary) terminologies and metadata schemas in order to increase interoperability between consortia and meet the requirements specified in the BLV objective, taking into account the formal obligation of the NFDI association statutes.
