Independent data that contains structured information about other data or resources and their characteristics. 2. Why is metadata important? Because they improve the reusability and accessibility of scientific results. Because they describe the researcher, making him/her uniquely identifiable. Because they evaluate a scientific publication. 3. What are metadata standards? Generic Standards are, e.g., the Dublin Core Standard or Data Cite but there are also discipline-specific standards. There are no standards, every researcher has to develop his/her own “rule book”. The Dublin Core Standard and Data Cite are the only standards to be used by all scientists in all disciplines.
