Science Mesh Data Source
Describo is a pair of tools for researchers and support staff to create spec-compliant RO-Crates w/:
- Linked data for high-precision unambiguous metadata
- Package level “who, what, where” metadata
- Individual file-level metadata including provenance
Describo exists as:
- a desktop tool (electron application) for all major platforms: https://uts-eresearch.github.io/describo/
- an online tool that integrates with Microsoft OneDrive: https://github.com/UTS-eResearch/describo-online
An RO-Crate is a structured archive of all the items that contributed to the research outcome, including their identifiers, provenance, relations and annotations. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wide variety of situations.
