How to Create Comprehensive Metadata Documentation?
Creating comprehensive metadata documentation involves several steps:
Planning: Start by planning the metadata requirements based on the study objectives and the types of data collected. Standardization: Use standardized templates and frameworks to ensure consistency. The Dublin Core and CDISC are popular standards. Data Entry: Collect and record metadata during the data collection phase to ensure accuracy. Review: Regularly review the metadata for completeness and accuracy. Storage: Store the metadata in a secure and accessible format, such as a metadata repository.
