How
1. Perform a literature search
Before developing a new metadata schema for your domain, start by performing a literature review to see if there are any existing solutions or guidelines in your domain that you can incorporate and reuse. This includes looking for research papers, reviews, or technical reports that discuss metadata standards or best practices for data management in your specific field or domain. In domains like omics, a lot of effort has already gone into standardizing metadata, so it's likely that some relevant frameworks exist.
Some of the places you can search are:
Google Scholar: For scientific papers and reviews.
PubMed: A free database of biomedical literature.
arXiv : For preprints, especially in computational biology or bioinformatics, where metadata models may be discussed.
Keywords to use in your search might include "metadata schema," "ontology," "vocabulary," "metadata standards," along with your specific domain, such as "genomics," "imaging," "oncology," etc.
2. Involve experts from other domain projects, they may already have metadata schemas for your domain
3. Search Bioportal or the Ontology Lookup Service
