The digital edition of the Heinrich Simon Papers: a metadata perspective

Ourania Karapasia, Digital Metadata Specialist, Collection Strategies Directorate

On the 23rd of May 2023, we celebrated the launch of a new collection in Manchester Digital Collections (MDC), The Digital Edition of the Heinrich Simon Papers, which has been the culmination of a three year project supported by the Leverhulme Trust.

This Digital Edition is the outcome of a collaboration between researchers and the Library. Leading on the creation of metadata, I will be talking on how high quality and well managed metadata (standards, formats, enrichment) play a key role in achieving the FAIRification of scholarly research data (making them Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).
