It is important that your FAIRification strategy addresses your main target group(s) as directly as possible. They may range from academic research disciplines to the general public.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Researchers<\/strong> \u2014 Energy domain experts require context information with high granularity and rich provenance to assess data quality and relevance, precise information on usage rights, and intellectual property rights (IPR) requirements. Interdisciplinary scientists need information on the context of data and provenance (mostly on aggregated levels) and precise information on usage rights and IPR.<\/li><li><strong>Science funders<\/strong> \u2014 Need to monitor, adjust and plan funding policies and principles to better direct R&amp;D investments and to ensure the impact of policy measures. Typically, this application is at a high level of aggregation, and information should be easy to disseminate. A pivotal interest is that the funding agency be acknowledged in the metadata.<\/li><li><strong>Planners and decision-makers<\/strong> \u2014 They may reuse data, analyze some data, and publish aggregated data and decisions. This involves a middle to high level of aggregation, information on data context and provenance.<\/li><li><strong>Energy sector and other industries<\/strong> \u2014 Technical and operational planners and decision-makers, energy market operators draw on expert knowledge and re-use and analyze some data on all aggregation levels. They require information on context, provenance, aggregated data, as well as IPR.<\/li><li><strong>General public<\/strong> \u2014 The group informs itself to adjust behavior and practices. A high level of aggregation is needed to make data easy to understand and navigate.<\/li><li><strong>Data scientists<\/strong> \u2014 Data engineers, software and algorithm developers code, test, and validate software with existing data. They need concise metadata to integrate data sources within software tools, machine-actionable open file formats, agreed standards, terminologies, and interoperability protocols.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Publishers, librarians, and data curators<\/strong> \u2014 publish, store, and archive research data.

Adding information may occur during the creation but also during the whole lifecycle of the dataset. In the research context, metadata is often used to capture the context of data. This means, that all necessary information for understanding the data is described by metadata. For sharing data, metadata serves the purpose for provide this extra information so that someone else is able to work with the data given his or her own background of knowledge. But even if the data is not shared with someone else, metadata documents all relevant information so that at a later point in time the data can be used as easily as during the day of its creation. So, metadata has an important function in the scientific workflow and is closely tight to ensure proper scientific practices such as traceability, reproducibility, and transparency.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Read more on the EERAdata Wiki:<\/p><ul><li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eeradata-platform.eu\/wiki\/index.php?title=Metadata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is metadata? <\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eeradata-platform.eu\/wiki\/index.php?title=Analyse_metadata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Analyse metadata<\/a><\/strong> <\/span><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eeradata-platform.eu\/wordpress\/?page_id=1376\">Metadata standards<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1758\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1758\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-double-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" href=\"\">8.
