Step 0. Intake

status: in review

Short description

If you are a part of a health domain or a working group and have ideas for extending the Health-RI core metadata schema with domain-specific metadata, the first step is to reach out to our service desk at servicedesk@health-ri.nl. Here you can express your interest, ideas or questions. If the request is about developing a domain-specific metadata schema, you will be asked to fill in an intake form.

This intake is necessary for a couple of reasons:

  • At Health-RI, we may have insight in concurrent domain-specific metadata developments of related (sub)domains, and we may bring you in contact with this (sub)domain first to see if your metadata wishes matches theirs.

  • In the developing process we have a supporting and consulting role and implementing an eventual model into the catalogue is done by us. Therefore, we need to have a rough estimate about the expected effort and timelines (especially when you don’t have DCAT- and/or linked data expertise present in your domain)

  • We need an informed decision together if it makes sense to start developing a domain-specific metadata schema in light of potential international domain developments. Would you/we like to be a ‘front runner’ or is it more efficient to wait for the international domain developments?

If together we decide on developing a domain specific metadata schema, we’ll set up a first 2hr informative session where we explain the background, process, possible hurdles and opportunities.
