Metadata and Data Services Activities and Functions - MaDSAF
Hervé L'Hours Darren Bell Oliver Parkes
<p>This working paper briefly defines a list of metadata and data services&rsquo; activities and functions (MaDSAF) derived from an analysis of the common features between relevant current standards. The headings are divided into four groups: digital object management, organisational infrastructure, technology and security.</p>
<p dir="ltr">MaDSAF major version numbers will not increment unless the body of the Activities Functions List (label and descriptions) change, or are added or removed. Other changes will be reflected with a minor version increment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second version of the MaDSAF incorporates and acknowledges the revisions derived from project activity and associated public consultation through the FIDELIS project. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15676188.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Version 02.01: No changes to the MaDSAF labels or descriptions. Updated to the UK Data Service document template with minor corrections to the text.</p>
