Interviews identified metadata management gaps in data workflows among scientists, suggesting improvements for data reuse.
During the Joint Plenary of NFDI4Earth and NFDI4Biodiversity on September 22-25 2025 at Marum in Bremen we conducted 25 short interviews to examine the need of semantic services across divergent institutions. Therefore we divided our interviews into two sections: while the questionnaire for Scientists [A] focussed on questions regarding publishing and reusing data, the one for Data Managers [B] referred to workflows for metadata management. Even though this study is not representative, some conclusions can be drawn about needs and gaps around metadata management.
