This week, I’ve spent most of the week working on the narrative and finalizing the survey questionnaire.ย Through the questionnaire, we’re really trying to get at the essence of what makes a metadata registry successful and what are the limitations, and the needs of the scientific community.ย The IRB has been submitted, we’re just waiting for the final approval, and the final version of the survey has been updated placed online using the Qualtrics Survey software available through the UNC Odum Institute. Work continues on analyzing existing metadata registries and creating a rubric for analyzing the existing registries.
