Data Week 2021: Metadata processing at Lynx

The Data Week is the spring gathering of the European Big Data Value and Industrial AI research and innovation community. The metadata-related operations of Lynx were presented in this vibrant event. The presentation described the Lynx achievements and exposed the lessons learnt, which were object of a very interesting debate.

The workshop explored ways to make metadata interoperable. This way not only the valued data, but also the very valuable metadata can participate in data value chains that build up the data economy. This is needed to have proper data protection and hence also increase the sharing and processing of data, which otherwise would not be possible due to (real or perceived) privacy risks. The goal of the workshop was to interactively discuss and exchange current and future challenges and solutions of metadata interoperability, best practices and developments.
