Add a CEDAR Metadata Record to your Project
CEDAR Metadata templates are community-developed templates designed to aggregate and organize projects based on metadata categories. This support guide helps you add a metadata record to an OSF project
- In order to add or edit a Metadata record to your project, registration or file you will need to have either Admin or Read + Write permissions
- For your Metadata to be publicly available your project must be public
To add a CEDAR community metadata record start by going into your OSF project and click on the Metadata tab found on the top toolbar.
Then select “Add Community Metadata Records”
The following screen will give you options for available metadata templates (see examples 1,2,3, and 4). Select the Metadata Template applicable to your Project, by clicking the clear "Select" button.
Select the appropriate template and fill in the Metadata (Note required fields will be indicated with a RED asterisk)
Once all of the required fields have been populated, the green button at the bottom of the screen will change from “Save Draft” to “Publish”
Once the Metadata record is complete you can "Share", "Download" or "Edit" the Metadata record.
Share: Click the share Icon to create a URL to share your Metadata record
Download: Click the Download Icon to download the Metadata Record as a .json file
Edit: Click the Edit button to edit the Metadata Record
