Course Title: | Introduction to Metadata in the caDSR |
Course Level: | Basic |
Audience: | caDSR Users and Metadata Consumers |
Description: In order to talk about metadata and how it is formed, you must first understand the differences between data and metadata. Data is a single item of factual information. Metadata describes the meaning, content, quality, condition and other characteristics of a piece of data.
The caDSR is an implementation of the ISO/IEC 11179 metadata standard. The purpose of the ISO/IEC 11179 standard is to define a framework and protocols for how such metadata can be specified, consistently maintained, and shared across diverse domains. The ISO/IEC 11179 standard contains an extensive collection of carefully defined components that specify the kind and quality of metadata necessary to describe data.
Course 1010: Introduction to Metadata in the caDSR provides learners with an understandable overview of metadata. It also introduces the ISO/IEC 11179 metadata standard and specifically how it directs the creation and maintenance of metadata in the Cancer Data Standards Repository (caDSR).
