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.

What happens if we stop funding research data? And how can Europe connect data across scientific disciplines to better prepare for future crises? These were among the questions discussed at the ESFRI Stakeholder Forum, held in Cork, Ireland, on 22 September 2026. Research data were at the heart of the debate on the resilience of European research.
