How to compile metadata for heritage science projects
This session we will focus on metadata for heritage science projects. We will look at the structured information used to describe, document, manage, and share data about cultural heritage objects, sites, materials, and scientific analyses performed on them. How to compile metadata, standards and controlled vocabulary will be highlighted. Along with the wider context of how metadata enables researchers, museums, and archives to find, understand, reuse, and preserve heritage-related data across institutions and disciplines.
Date: 10th June 2026
Time: 2:00-4:00 PM (BST)
Location: Online Webinar – Register to attend.
