Lionel Spinelli and Claire Rioualen will present the data deposition process in the Recherche Data Gouv repository. Using this example, they will highlight the significance of metadata and standardized vocabularies in ensuring high-quality data deposition.

Title

Reproducibility in Science: Data and Metadata

Abstract

France’s second National Plan for Open Science, FAIR data, and the mandatory open science policy in the Horizon Europe program national and international commitments to open, reproducible science are becoming increasingly strong. The deposit of research data is now a requirement. Sharing data and making it accessible enables more robust, cost-effective, and transparent science. However, for data sharing to be truly valuable, it must meet quality standards to ensure data can be identified, retrieved, and reused. To achieve this, metadata and the use of controlled vocabularies and ontologies are essential.
