The NIH HEAL Initiative®—Helping to End Addiction Long-term—has integrated CEDAR into its data infrastructure to support the creation of machine-readable, standards-aligned metadata across its research projects. This integration supports the HEAL commitment to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data practices. CEDAR in the HEAL Metadata Submission Workflow As part of the HEAL Platform’s SLMD […]
As scientific data sharing becomes increasingly vital to research transparency and reuse, the role of high-quality metadata has never been more important. Yet, creating structured, standards-aligned metadata remains a complex task—especially when researchers are forced to navigate unfamiliar tools or metadata standards outside their everyday workflows. That’s where the CEDAR Embeddable Editor (CEE) steps in. […]
The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) is taking concrete steps to improve the FAIRness of COVID-19 and health research data. As part of its national guidance on metadata, ZonMw highlights CEDAR as a key tool for researchers to create machine-readable, reusable metadata. FAIR Starts with Metadata In ZonMw’s official Guidance on Metadata […]
We’re pleased to announce that CEDAR users can now mint Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for their metadata templates and instances—directly from within the CEDAR platform. This new capability, developed in collaboration with the FAIR Workflows Project (https://datacite.org/implementing-fair-workflows-project/), enhances the visibility, permanence, and citability of the metadata authored in CEDAR. A New Level of Metadata Publication […]
