lisämetatietoja

Lisämetatietoja, meaning "additional metadata" in Finnish, refers to supplementary information that enriches the description of a data resource. While core metadata typically covers essential details like title, author, and creation date, lisämetatietoja provides deeper context and finer granularity. This can include information about the data's purpose, its intended audience, specific limitations or caveats, quality assurance procedures undertaken, and details about its collection methodology. Furthermore, it might encompass technical specifications, licensing terms beyond basic rights, or relationships to other datasets. The goal of lisämetatietoja is to improve data discoverability, understanding, and usability for a wider range of users, facilitating more informed decision-making and reuse. It helps to clarify ambiguities, mitigate potential misinterpretations, and enhance the overall value and trustworthiness of the data. In essence, lisämetatietoja transforms raw data into a more self-explanatory and accessible asset.
