Content description

The most-reused data is the best documented, and DDI plays a significant role in this space. Data supports data reuse and enhances data quality from the researcher perspective.

• Provenance, confident reusability 

• Good documented comparability (CLOSER, etc.) across data sets and waves, concordances

Related Webinars and Resources

• CODATA Webinar: Thinking About Quality and DDI Metadata (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6250609 )

• How to Document Data Quality with DDI (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13834031 )

Q&A questions

Notes

Approach 1: We did a Data Quality webinar in the past (Quality Reporting Framework)

• Intro can cover these bases (Arofan)

Approach 2: There’s an approach that says quality can only be assessed when you know the research question, data is either fit for it, or not (rich metadata dimension: statistical accuracy, etc.)

• Colectica

Approach 3: If you’re an archive who wants an understanding of data quality. What metrics? FAIRness! Fair assessment metrics. What does this mean?

• Simon Hodson?

Approach 4 (related to 3): Role of trustworthy repositories in data quality.

Content description

This webinar would showcase how metadata-driven systems can be designed, and how rich, granular metadata can be used to drive processes rather than function as an output. Explores the possible future role of metadata in relation to emerging AI tools.
