Foundations of Data Element documentation


Description
In this course, we will learn how to search within the registry and explore the ISO/IEC 11179 metadata family tree structure for data elements. We will also learn to create sub-components of a data element. Additionally, we will examine various methods for creating data elements, including using the metadata editor and a wizard. Furthermore, we will learn how to navigate between data elements and object classes, interpret related content, and perform bulk uploads for data elements.

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn how search operates within the Aristotle Metadata Registry.
• Understand basic ISO 11179 concepts and principles.
• Analyse data definitions using the ISO-11179 metadata family tree for effective documentation.
