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.”

DataCite provides some rich capabilites for supporting three important project metadata use cases: Project Teams, Project Items, and Project Relations. Almost 70 repositories are taking advantage of these capabilities and their metadata provide a corpus that can be used to describe how they are using the metadata. We use the techniques developed for FAIR Use Cases to characterize Project Use Cases using Metadata Game Changers as an example, then we introduce a tool that repositories can use to explore existing approaches to Project metadata and to measure their own projects.
