Summary

The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration HMC promotes a strategy for enriching research data by using metadata and ensuring the entire Helmholtz organization uses this approach consistently. It aims to make the collected data from the Helmholtz Centres findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable as it pertains to the whole science community.

The initiative emphasizes the critical role of FAIR standards in facilitating deep and broad research data collection, ensuring that valuable insights from Centres become accessible across the broader scientific community. This goal is driven by a specific desire for making existing data more accessible by promoting its use as a shared resource throughout the organization.

Furthermore, the HMC focuses on how this metadata will be implemented across various Helmholtz Centres, thereby making the collected data available throughout the scientific community and ensuring that FAIR principles are followed consistently. This effort seeks to unlock the full potential of Helmholtz Centres' research data to support future scientific discoveries and research collaboration globally.
