Next-Generation Metadata (NGM) Framework 1 project
A vendor-friendly metadata schema and protocol enabling automatic transfer of detailed hardware configuration data from microscopy instrument manufacturers to researchers.

Hardware Descriptor Schema

active

Modular and reusable metadata components, designed to fit together across platforms.

Micro-Meta Platform Frontend (MMPF) 0 projects
A user-centric Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed for authoring, reviewing, and editing NGM-encoded hardware descriptors.
Micro-Meta Platform Backend (MMPB) 1 project
A scalable service infrastructure that manages PIDs creation, metadata deposition, and interlinking of hardware descriptors with data and publications and post publication exploration, citation and data annotation. MMPB will incorporate exploratory Large Language Model (LLM) techniques to extract metadata from unstructured instrument technical documents, enhancing metadata completeness and quality.

Micro-Meta App

Coordinated Testing, Validation, Outreach and Dissemination 1 project
Actively engaging research scientists, core-facility staff, and data librarians to obtain early feedback during software development to ensure usability; implementing targeted education and training on FAIR practices, persistent identifiers (PIDs), and metadata registries at venues and organizations specifically selected to maximize impact; and creating technical documentation for microscopy hardware to support future community learning.

Zenodo for the Persistent Hardware Descriptor Project

active

Presentation materials covering the IPHD Project, how it fits into data providence, and its importance with respect to FAIR data in research.
