EUDAT Community Extensions

Aim

EUDAT fosters the use community extensions for EUDAT metadata schemas. Community extensions provide scientific communities a way to define its own metadata schema fields on top of the default metadata schema defined by EUDAT Extended metadata schema. This way a community is able to enforce any researcher that publishes data under that community to include additional, community specific information about the data.
