DataCite Connect Prague 2024 (#DataCiteConnect24)
June 10, 2024 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm CEST

MAKING THE MOST OF METADATA
The DataCite community will convene in Prague on June 10, 2024 to discuss how we can collectively make the most of metadata. In the session, we will discuss the value of consistent, standardized, and complete metadata; provide insight into current metadata practices; hear from DataCite Members about metadata challenges they face; and also discuss how registered metadata is currently (re)used. The session will include several interactive components, such as break-out sessions to discuss different (upcoming) resource types.
This is an in-person event that will not be recorded or streamed. Slides of the speakers will be made available afterwards. Make sure to use the hashtag #DataCiteConnect24 when sharing your experience on socials.
For more information, please read the wrap-up blog post of the event.
