 # SFB 1280 MetaDataApp
 
 ## Introduction and wiki
-One of the most important steps in managing research data is the creation of metadata. Metadata represents characteristics of the raw data collected, such as the creator, date, subjects. License, publisher, etc. are also metadata. However, selecting the appropriate metadata fields is a difficult task.  The easiest way is to have a template that contains a [mapping to bibliometric metadata standards](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/metaapp_2/-/wikis/MetaDataApp-Wiki/Mapping-to-DublinCore-and-DataCite) such as DublinCore and DataCite: The [SFB 1280 metadata schema](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/metaapp_2/-/wikis/MetaDataApp-Wiki/SFB-1280-metadata-fields) is such a template with 16 fields developed by SFB representatives. In accordance with the [SFB's research data management policy](https://sfb1280.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/SFB1280_ResearchDataManagementPolicy_ADOPTED_20220928.pdf), storage of this metadata is mandatory for all SFB 1280 groups.

 ## About this project
-To save researchers noticeable routine work in creating metadata in the medium term, the SFB 1280 INF project developed the SFB 1280 MetadataApp. The MetaDataApp is a Java application with a graphical user interface that allows researchers to easily enter metadata, as well as store metadata in local json files along with research data using an inheritance strategy. It allows the input of SFB 1280 metadata, as well as additional DublinCore and DataCite metadata that have no mapping to SFB 1280 metadata but are important for publishing the data according to the FAIR principles later.

You can download an already exported version of the program [here](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/metaapp_2/-/blob/main/exported_example/MetaDataApp.jar) as a .jar file to get a first overview of the program.

-The MetaDataApp will store the entries in a json file format that allows further use in a database (see related project: [SFB 1280 DatabaseApp](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/databaseapp)) and other repositories. Json is a well-established data-interchange format that can be transformed easily in any pipeline regardless of programming language use. The [SFB 1280 DatabaseApp](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/databaseapp) is an additional developed Java application that makes the thus created metadata searchable and search results easily retrievable.
