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.”

PIDFest 2026 brought together many old friends in Leiden with conversations covering a wide variety of old and new topics. While it was great to see the old guard, it was also wonderful to see new faces, many attending their first or second PID focused meeting. These new faces made me wonder about how new DataCite members are using DataCite.
