PLAY YOUR PART. Help us improve the quality of metadata for research. Metadata 20/20 is a collaboration that advocates richer, connected, and reusable, open metadata for all research outputs, which will advance scholarly pursuits for the benefit of society.

RICHER METADATA FUELS DISCOVERY AND INNOVATION. Connected metadata bridges the gaps between systems and communities. Reusable, open metadata eliminates duplication of effort. When we settle for inadequate metadata, none of this is possible and everyone suffers as a consequence.
