Required metadata


To save and make the result available in the CUNI repository of publications, we require a set of mandatory and so-called conditionally mandatory metadata. Both types of these metadata are mandatory, but in the case of conditionally mandatory metadata when filling them in (and subsequent checking), it can be considered whether the given data can be found or obtained for the given type of result or the current state of publication.


Not all the results have for example the specified DOI identifier, but if they do, it is necessary to fill it in the relevant field of the form in the OBD module of Charles University CRIS system (IS Věda).


Differences between these types of metadata are explained in the table below:



What mandatory and conditionally mandatory metadata do we require?

The lists below contain all the mandatory and conditionally mandatory metadata for all types of results accepted into the repository. To display a given group of metadata, click on the appropriate tab.

Placement of the mandatory metadata in the OBD form for individual types of results

For easier orientation in the OBD form, both when filling it in and during the subsequent check, we have prepared a table providing an overview of the placement of the given metadata of the given type of result in the OBD form. To display the mandatory metadata and its placement in the OBD result form for the given type of result, proceed as follows:

  • click on the tab "mandatory metadata by the type",
  • choose the type of result from the drop-down list and click on it.

Then a table will appear, showing where in the OBD result form you should look for the given information and fill in or check.



Optional metadata


In addition to mandatory and conditionally mandatory metadata of results, in the OBD IS Věda module is also possible to fill in other, from the point of view of storage and access in the repository, optional metadata. The completion and correctness of these optional metadata are not checked before the result is accepted into the repository. However, filling in the optional metadata enables, for example:

  • display additional information in the preview of the result in the repository,
  • increase the probability of finding relevant results in the repository,
  • generate bibliographic citations to the results stored in the repository,
  • ensure the collection of additional statistical information about the results stored in the repository.
