Dear all, I am pleased to announce that the results of the first ever Metadata Management Survey of the ISA programme are now available on Joinup: Full document: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/ISA%20Deliverable_Report%20on%20existing%20Semantic%20Asset%20Repositories.pdf Highlights: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/ISA%20Deliverable_Metadata%20Management%20Survey%20Results.pdf Join the discussion: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Most-respondents-first-Metadata-Management-2736596.S.89380618?qid=911e1b54-d06c-4f93-a86b-9fe16eadcc4c&goback=%2Egmp_2736596 Short Summary: A total of 11 Member States have participated in this survey, 5 of which having a semantic asset repository (45% of respondents). Among other EU Member States that have not participated in the survey, 6 of them have a semantic asset repository. In the survey, respondents were asked to position themselves within the 5 maturity levels of metadata management, introduced in a recent paper of the ISA Programme [OGM] ? 5 being the highest and 1 the lowest. Most of the respondents have placed themselves at level 2 (55% of respondents). None have placed themselves at level 5 and only a few of them have scored themselves higher than level 3 (27% of respondents). Overall, it seems that Europe is still at the dawn of metadata management but several Member States are already working to close the gap between their current modest level and the one required for them to be effective and efficient in managing this type of assets.
