Laura Meier
I am part of the RDM information team at the University Library of LMU Munich, where I support researchers across all disciplines with services and infrastructure for managing their research data. My background combines library and information management with computer science, allowing me to work at the intersection of metadata, infrastructure, and user-oriented services.
Session
Do you struggle with creating complete, high-quality DataCite metadata or reusing existing records efficiently? In this session, you will discover the updated DataCite Metadata Generator developed by LMU Munich, designed to simplify and enhance your metadata workflows.
You will learn how the tool enables you to create, upload, validate, and improve metadata in both XML and JSON formats. It also enriches metadata quality by automatically integrating PIDs via APIs such as ORCID and ROR.
You will also see how the generator is designed to be easily updated when new DataCite schema versions are released, ensuring long-term usability. You will explore how this open-source solution can be integrated into your own institutional workflows and adapted to specific needs. By the end of the session, you will better understand how to streamline metadata creation while improving consistency and reuse.
