Here we have outlined an alternative metadata-driven mechanism for achieving finely-grained FAIR data exposures in association with journal publication which can be utilized by authors themselves as the creators of research data, and where authors can retain control over the type of metadata captured.
The paper then discusses the shortcomings of these approaches and proposes an unconventional alternative, Geospatial Metadata 2.0.
The government argued there was no alternative to mass metadata retention, and that this bill was an urgent priority that had to be passed.
Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, internet services could be encouraged to consider a generally-available right to comment – for example, by linking metadata to alternative URLs that clarify, update, or contextualise.
We propose an alternative form of computational metadata specification that allows for a complete record of all computational operations applied to a file with reasonable effort on the developer's side.
His edited comment on private channels suggests there are metadata-focused alternative techniques that governments could pursue to glean intel from within encrypted apps without needing to demand access to the content itself — albeit, political pressure may well be on the social platforms themselves to be doing the leg work there.
But Barack Obama and his advisers see "no workable alternative" to the bulk collection of metadata, the paper reports, including records of all telephone calls made inside the US.
Crowdsourcing has been gaining points as a method to collect metadata descriptors, adding extra alternative textual information to the one that already exists.
It is critical for researchers to have an alternative method of evaluating RNA-Seq metadata supplemented with manual curation.
Thus, he favours the ontological 'flattening-out' approach to the metadata; that is, the second alternative of purposively allowing digital artefacts to sit 'nameless' on sites and databases, with connections and narrative meanings to be drawn by the users themselves.
