Health-RI is in the process of defining a metadata scheme for adding metadata (onboarding) to the Health-RI metadata portal. To allow for onboarding of a resource, the minimal metadata set must be provided. It is therefore essential that you assess whether this minimal set is collected/available or whether additional metadata needs to be collected.
