Our mission is to change the metadata game by leveraging good metadata practices to create a foundation that supports better compliance with changing regulations and recommendations, and enhanced data discovery and reuse capabilities.
About Us
Metadata Game Changers LLC is a U.S.-based consultancy that specializes in providing training, expertise, and resources related to metadata management. We focus on improving how organizations manage, utilize, and understand their metadata. We work primarily with institutional repositories and Earth and environmental science repositories and institutions.
“It has been a point of professional pride that we coax as much metadata as we can... It is gratifying that the work we’re putting in is noticeable and indeed has been noticed.”

We examine Crossref Participation Report scores for over 30,000 Crossref members to create a baseline for understanding those scores. We use that baseline to identify Crossref Bright Spots, members that have figured out ways to create and share more complete metadata. We also extend those results with a tool for measuring connectivity that provides more detail for identifiers than the Participation Reports.
