Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
The Metadata Interest Group(MIG) is supported by individuals and organizations involved in the development, implementation, and use of metadata for scientific data.  MIG’s chief objective is to identify and endorse metadata solutions for addressing data management challenges. Metadata is crucial for the discovery, access, preservation, exchange, manipulation, and use/reuse of research data.  Metadata discussions frequently focus on community-specific issues such as discipline-specific standards; however, there are dimensions of metadata that are of general interest, cross disciplines and are amenable to broad community input.  MIG endorses metadata solutions that balance domain-specific and interdisciplinary needs.
MIG has proposed metadata ‘packages’ for the commonly required purposes; a ‘package’ consists of elements (attributes or data structures) the values of which relate to the unique identity of the dataset or record (instance).  To assure machine processing a formal syntax and declared semantics are required, and the packages must exhibit referential and functional integrity as well as human readability.
At previous plenaries, MIG has reached out to other RDA Interest Groups and Working Groups where metadata is important to the goals of their group. The element set has been shared with and reviewed by many of the RDA domain groups.

Meeting objectives
Collaborative session notes: https://bit.ly/3Qdna6n
Metadata with formal syntax and declared semantics are even more necessary now, to ensure FAIRness but also with the range of application areas requiring such metadata, and primarily to ensure that systems increasingly utilizing AI have a basis in formal logic (not just the currently popular large language models but more for data management, analytics, simulation, and visualization). The meeting objectives include the metadata required for effective Scientific Knowledge Graphs covering the entities of interest in the scientific domain, the relationship of metadata to vocabularies, and the metadata required for the Kernel Information Record in the FAIR Digital Object.

Please indicate at least (3) three breakout slots that would suit your meeting.
Breakout 1, Breakout 2, Breakout 3
