Session
Are you interested in learning how to contribute to the DataCite Metadata Schema? DataCite provides open infrastructure for research organizations to contribute key metadata about their research outputs, resources, and activities as part of DOI registration, enabling citation, discovery, and reuse. We are continuously evolving the DataCite Metadata Schema to align with community needs—and we can’t do it without you. In this lightning talk, you’ll learn how you can help shape the DataCite Metadata Schema: how to share your ideas with us, where you can discuss proposals, and how to stay up to date with all the latest schema developments.
