Towards Collaborative Metadata Design by Researchers and Collaborators with Different Expertise

Abstract

Developing metadata schema on research data requires not only the specialized domain knowledge but also in-depth knowledge about semantic web technologies, which makes the task difficult for those who are not familiar with them. To solve the problem, we aim to develop a metadata design system for researchers and collaborators with various knowledge, skills and expertise to co-design metadata schema by cross-organizational collaboration. In this paper, we describe the basic design concept, overview, and future issues of the initial system we designed.
