About Us
Metadata Game Changers LLC is a U.S.-based consultancy that specializes in providing training, expertise, and resources related to metadata management. We focus on improving how organizations manage, utilize, and understand their metadata. We work primarily with institutional repositories and Earth and environmental science repositories and institutions.
“It has been a point of professional pride that we coax as much metadata as we can... It is gratifying that the work we’re putting in is noticeable and indeed has been noticed.”

DataCite metadata has the tools needed to track contributions from specific awards but there are many obstacles on the journey of award numbers into complete metadata. This post explores the landscape. Funder names and identifiers, i.e. Crossref Funder IDs and RORs, are more common than award numbers.
