A Research Data Infrastructure Component for the Automated Metadata and Data Quality Extraction to Foster the Provision of FAIR Data in Earth System Sciences

Research output: Contribution to journalResearch articleContributedpeer-review

Abstract

Metadata management is core to support discovery and reuse of data products, and to allow for reproducibility of the research data in Earth System Sciences (ESS). Thus, ensuring acquisition and provision of meaningful and quality assured metadata should become an integral part of data-driven ESS projects.

We propose an open-source tool for the automated metadata and data quality extraction to foster the provision of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable Reusable). By enabling researchers to automatically extract and reuse structured and standardized ESS-specific metadata, in particular quality information, in several components of a research data infrastructure, we support researchers along the research data life cycle.
