Development Status and Trends of Global (Meta)data Standards — A Report on New & Notable Efforts in the 2020s

This presentation aims to update the DCMI community and information professionals about the important standards, specifications, and best practice guidelines developed or initiated by ISO, W3C, professional associations, and other communities globally in the 2020s. In addition to those commonly used in data and information professions, this report will include standards from special domains such as climate and forecast metadata.
The report will focus on several recent significant standardization efforts related to (meta)data, covering data, metadata, and related data services. It will address the accessibility, quality, and trustworthiness of (meta)data, particularly in the new era of artificial intelligence (AI). The presentation will also ensure the comprehension, processability, discoverability, reuse potential, effectiveness, linkability, and interoperability of (meta)data.
