5. Main Findings - Often found:
Report on the rapid quality assessment of Discoverability/Accessibility/Utilization of Resources
The rapid quality assessment has been conducted with the aim to improve discoverability of resources and their accessibility and thus utilization in applications, and engaging with the data providers in ameliorating the metadata provided.
Main Findings - Often found:
Poor Contacts information
Keywords to describe the available reources can be improved to enhance discoverability
Data not always immediately accessible -
Temporal information often missing (critical for some data sets like earthquakes, disasters)
Titles like: «eth_wtr_shp_1990», will not make the resource discoverable…
Better info to be provided on the format of the shared resource
