Metabase is the metadata service for research data management container (RDMC) in NFDIxCS. It incorporates community-specific metadata schemas via OWL2 ontologies to support the heterogeneity of computer science. This semantic foundation allows Metabase to automatically check for inconsistencies in the metadata and to enrich metadata sets with derived facts. The service also allows to define morphisms to translate between different schemas and ontolgogies, and connects to external systems such as the open research knowledge graph (ORKG).
Metabase is an incubator project within the Terminology Services (TS) basic service of Base4NFDI.
