Metadata management within storage spaces


An ecosystem for sharing metadata


The Maggot tool allows users to describe the Metadata of their datasets produced within a collective (research unit, platform, multi-partner project, etc.), thus making it possible
  • to answer certain questions of the Data Management Plan (DMP) concerning the organization, documentation, storage and sharing of data in the data storage space,
  • to meet certain data and metadata requirements, referred to by the National Plan for Open Science , in particular its second axis: “Structure, Share and Open Research Data” (Recherche Data Gouv) in accordance with the FAIR principles.
