Ideally, this is not how things should be. The adoption of standards and practices should be community led, with technology functioning as the enabler. Figmeta showcases one attempt to move closer towards this goal by semantically enabling figshare as a basis for rapid ontology development and adoption.
In this webinar, Simon Porter, VP Academic Relationships and Knowledge Architecture and formerly at University of Melbourne, will be walking you through his tool figmeta which allows for the expansion of figshare metadata. Using the powerful API Simon will demonstrate that figshare is not just a repository but also an enabling component of research data infrastructure. It will be practical, suitable for any information professionals interested in metadata and will run you through some practical examples of how figshare metadata has been expanded and how to get started as a user.
