schema.org
Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email messages, and beyond.
Schema.org vocabulary can be used with many different encodings, including RDFa, Microdata and JSON-LD. These vocabularies cover entities, relationships between entities and actions, and can easily be extended through a well-documented extension model. Over 10 million sites use Schema.org to markup their web pages and email messages. Many applications from Google, Microsoft, Pinterest, Yandex and others already use these vocabularies to power rich, extensible experiences.

description:
Sharing descriptive Metadata is the first essential step towards Open Scientific Data. With this in mind, Maggot was specifically designed to annotate datasets by creating a metadata file to attach to the storage space. Indeed, it allows users to easily add descriptive metadata to datasets produced within a collective of people (research unit, platform, multi-partner project, etc.). This approach fits perfectly into a data management plan as it addresses the issues of data organization and documentation, data storage and frictionless metadata sharing within this same collective and beyond.

Colectica Repository and Portal
Colectica Repository is a metadata management system designed to centrally store and manage metadata for research purposes, particularly for statistical agencies, survey research groups, longitudinal studies, and data archivists. It acts as the core infrastructure for the Colectica platform, enabling collaborative workflows and maintaining data integrity through version control. While not directly accessed by end-users, it supports applications like Colectica Designer and Colectica Portal via a REST api. The repository adheres to open data standards to ensure data is reusable and interoperable. It natively uses the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) Lifecycle metadata standard to document the entire research process, from planning to archiving. It also complies with ISO 11179, a standard for metadata registries, to structure metadata systematically. Additionally, an open REST API allows other systems to interact with the repository and resolve metadata items.

Colectica was launched in 2010 and creates a suite of metadata tools that helps design, explain, and share statistical research. Using common open data standards such as DDI, Colectica makes it simple to record all the important details about surveys, studies, longitudinal research, or data collections so that anyone reviewing data project understands their background and context. Colectica provides tools and services for organizations working in government statistics, survey research, data archives, or any field that publishes metadata documentation to share information in a standard format.
