Establishing Workflows to Engage Stakeholder Groups in PID Metadata Maintenance
At the Helmholtz Association, we strive to establish a well-structured, harmonized data space that connects information across distributed data infrastructures. Achieving this goal requires the standardization of dataset descriptions using appropriate metadata, such as PID metadata, to ensure interoperability and machine actionability.
While developing concepts to harmonize PID metadata is an essential first step in setting up a data space, it is not sufficient on its own. In this context, we explore strategies for implementing workflows within the Helmholtz Association and propose tailored workflows for specific stakeholder groups. Additionally, we assign clear responsibilities for maintaining metadata to these stakeholders. The conclusions drawn from this process aim to redefine stakeholder roles and responsibilities within our organization.
