This autumn brings two opportunities to explore the Czech Core Metadata Model (CCMM) – a national standard for describing research data in the Czech Republic – and the Dataspecer tool, which supports the creation and management of metadata profiles. Both events are organized by the National Library of Technology (NTK) in Prague and are aimed primarily at data stewards, curators, and repository managers. The events are designed to build on each other: the seminar will provide a theoretical foundation and overview of key principles, while the workshop will offer hands-on practice.

The first event will be a full-day seminar in the Balling Hall at NTK. Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of metadata modeling. The program will cover the development and structure of CCMM and demonstrate how the Dataspecer tool can be used for working with profiles. The seminar is designed as an introduction to the topic and will also include a networking session, providing space to share experiences and establish contacts. The seminar will be held in Czech, in person, with a recording available. More information can be found here, you can register until September 15, 2025, here.
