Subject: Call for Feedback from Linguists: Survey on Research Data and Metadata Quality (Deadline: 31 Aug)


Have you encountered any issues when it comes to sharing, finding,
accessing, and working with research data? If you are:
- a linguistics researcher who works with data on a daily basis,
- a professional who manages or curates linguistics research data
- a professional who works with the technical infrastructure required
for managing or curating linguistics research data,
then your perspective on the future of FAIR long-term data
preservation is invaluable.
We invite you to fill out a survey that investigates how research
communities work with research data, and how data archives and
repositories work with the different aspects that contribute to the
quality of research (meta)data.
The Horizon Europe-funded EOSC EDEN project (https://eden-fidelis.eu/)
investigates and develops strategies for curation and long-term
preservation of research data. One important aspect of the project is
to collect insights from researchers and preservation professionals,
with the aim of turning identified challenges into actionable
improvements.
Linguistics is one of the disciplines receiving particular focus in
the project, and your professional insights will support our work on:
- Improving and standardising curation and preservation practices
- Developing the services and tools needed to enhance digital
preservation strategies
- Enabling the reusability of research data
- Bridging knowledge across disciplines
- Equipping researchers with the knowledge to answer central research
questions
Whether you work in research or at a repository, in a large
organisation or a small team, and whatever your area of research or
career stage, we would like to hear from you. Multiple responses from
the same organisation are welcome, and we encourage you to share
information about the survey with your professional networks.
Filling out the survey should take between 20-30 minutes to complete,
and we will keep it open until Monday, 31st August, 2026.
You can find the survey here:
https://nettskjema.no/a/eosc-eden-survey-2026.
For any questions about the survey or the work of EOSC EDEN, please
contact Helene N. Andreassen (Project Task Lead) at
helene.n.andreassen at uit.no.
Thank you for sharing your experience — your contribution is greatly
valued!
Best regards,
Helene N. Andreassen*, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, project

requirements, validation, and future use”
