Applications of metadata:
A) Providing human-readable enrichment of computer-readable data
B) Ability to suggest standards to improve data integration and flow
C) Minimum Information (MI)
D) MIGS (Minimum Information for Genome Sequences)
- Genomic Standards Consortium
- Vocabulary for describing genomic studies
- Concentrated previously on generating data (sequencing)
- Some kind of data stewardship needs to be available
- MIGS aims to provide descriptors so that genome studies can be
- coupled with strict metadata about those studies
- Standardises the exchange and integration of genomic data
E) Lots more MI (Minimum Information) projects
F) Providing human-readable enrichment of computer-readable data e.g. web services annotated with metadata to aid discovery and use
