Version 1.0 of the Czech Core Metadata Model for Research Data (CCMM) has been released – the core metadata model for describing research data within the National Data Infrastructure. CCMM enables metadata interoperability, allowing metadata to be aggregated in the National Metadata Catalogue. This robust model is the result of collaboration between active members of the Metadata Working Group and the implementers of projects within our EOSC CZ initiative.
All information about CCMM and the related metadata support can be found on the website ccmm.cz, which is continuously expanding with additional resources useful for working with metadata and controlled vocabularies.
CCMM 1.0 is also available on GitHub, including a complete export of the model from Dataspecer, which can be re-imported into the tool and used for creating your own domain profiles. Feedback on the model can be submitted via GitHub issues, and any questions can be directed to metadata@techlib.cz.
In the autumn, we will also be organizing workshops and training sessions focused on working with CCMM, Dataspecer, and the creation of metadata profiles. Details will be announced in due time.
Helena Reichlová, head of the Dioscuri Center for Spin-Caloritronics and Magnonics at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, discusses the challenges and opportunities of modern experimental research. She talks about the importance of international collaboration, interdisciplinary teams, and sharing scientific data.
On September 3, 2025, another stop of the EOSC CZ Networking series took place at the SOLID21 building of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (FZU), this time with representatives of FZU and the secretaries of EOSC CZ working groups. The event focused on sharing, discovering, and meaningful networking.
