Metadata Entry Tool

Create metadata records to support the discoverability, governance, and reuse of Indigenous data in line with Indigenous Data Commons principles.

Use the form below to record, score and submit metadata about Indigenous data to the Indigenous Data Network

To complete a compliant metadata record for your data, you need to fill out the form below. You have the option of completing the minimum required information (indicated by a red asterix *) we encourage you to include as much information as possible. The metadata is recorded in what is known as RDF language. You can click on the RDF button below to view the information you have entered in RDF format.

The more information you provide, the higher the FAIR and CARE scores for your metadata. Your progress is saved between reloads. After completing the form you can submit it to the IDN for inclusion in the catalogue More information about the metadata profile can be found here.

The Indigenous Data Network acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We pay respect to their Elders, past and present, and the place of Indigenous Knowledge in the academy and beyond. We acknowledge and respect that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have always used resources from the land and waters for nourishment, medicine and healing.
