📌 Introduction
To get metadata into the COVID portal, cedar forms need to be filled in correctly so that the metadata will be harvested into the covid portal correctly.
Some general explanation from ZonMw about this approach can be found here: https://www.zonmw.nl/nl/fair-metadata-en-data-onderzoeksprojecten .
Steps to enter your metadata for the Covid Portal
Fill out the Cedar Forms on https://cedar.metadatacenter.org/
How to write the metadata down is described in the M4M page: https://www.gofairfoundation.org/m4m/
See the templates in the section Metadata Forms for ZonMw COVID-19 Community
Important! Make sure to use the most current version of the Covid template, or your information will not be visible on the Covid Portal. - how to know which template to use: ….
Important! The form Catalogue, needs to contain a reference to the page you create for Dataset. And the form Dataset, needs to contain a reference to the page you create for Distribution. Therefore, easiest is to start from Distribution and work your way backwards. How to copy the ID of a Distribution to enter in the Dataset form: Copy the url of the distribution from directly after “edit”to just before the question mark. Similarly you need to copy part of the URL of the Dataset to enter in the Catalogue form.
If so agreed, make sure to enable “Open View” to make your metadata available on Open View:
Go to the three dots on your form → click on option “enable open view”.
Share your forms with ZonMw Covid group in Cedar, and also with Health-RI editors for easier support:
Press the 3 dots to open the context menu,
Click on the option Share
Make sure to share with ZonMw Covid Metadata group as well as Health-RI editors and give them “can write” access so that support will be easier in case of issues:
FAQ
Which of these projects can I also see on the national health data catalogue on healthdata.nl?
The metadata that can be put into the COVID portal can consist of
M4M Project Admin
M4M Project Content
M4M Dataset (Catalogue, Form, Distribution)
M4M Dataset corresponds with the entities that are part of the core metadata required by the national health data catalog. Therefore projects without the Dataset entities will not (yet) be displayed on the national health data catalogue.
What is OpenView?
See https://metadatacenter.org/tag/openview/
How to transfer ownership of my cedar forms?
Make sure that all the documents that you want to transfer are in a separate folder.
For each artifact:
Open the context menu.
Open “Share…”
In the “With people” section, in the text field which says “enter user name” start entering the other person’s name. Once the name shows up, click on it.
Next to this field, in the dropdown select “owner”.
Click on the “OK” below the name.
On the right you will see that the owner has been changed.
You can close this dialog now.
Once all the artifacts are transferred to the other person, share the enclosing folder with write capabilities with the other person.
The other person should log into CEDAR, and click the “Shared with Me” in the left menu.
Locate the folder that was shared with you. Inside of it there will be the artifacts that now belong to you.
For each of them, open the context menu, and using the “Move to…” dialog, move the artifact to a folder under your home directory.
