Maithilee, I am teaching a course, Mechanics of Metadata, through the Library Juice Academy, in December. It's a shortened (monthlong) version of the course I taught for several years in the Rutgers library master's degree program. Many of my students went on to metadata careers and are doing very well. I think it will give you a really strong introduction to metadata.
The cost is $175, which I think is quite reasonable for the length of course and the amount of information covered.

Our team has been doing randomized clinical trials for the last three decades and we have lots of longitudinal data to manage. I am trying to learn more about metadata and how to use that to organize archived data. Is there anyone on this list who can guide me to a person in the US who can provide overview and guidance about metadata creation? Books or websites that have lessons I could take? If this is not the correct list for this question please let me know and apologies in advance. Many thanks. With regards, Maithilee -- Maithilee Mitra Sr. Programmer/Data Analyst, Intl.
