On this leg of your adventure, you’ll unlock the power of data documentation. Learn how to create metadata and various types of data documentation files to ensure your data is understandable and reusable by future researchers and by you down the road.

Designed for researchers at the beginning of a project, though open to all, this session will help you:

• Understand the importance of data documentation and how it supports your research
• Explore the role of metadata and its benefits for data management and discovery
• Recognize the difference between active data storage and preservation storage

The goal of this workshop is to equip researchers with the knowledge to manage their data effectively, reducing the risks of data loss or mismanagement.
