Metadata standards and tools practice at EPFL School of Life Sciences 2020 Survey

In 2020, EPFL Library conducted a study about Tools and Metadata Standards practice in EPFL School of Life Sciences. By standard, we mean:<br> - terminological resources (vocabularies, terminologies, classifications, thesauri),<br> - formats and data models / schemas,<br> - structured knowledge bases (databases, reference databases, ontologies).<br> And by tools, we mean:<br> - bioinformatics software (i.e. for sequence or molecular structure analysis of proteins and genes)<br> - databases from the Life Sciences field (i.e. genome databases). Our goal was twofold: on the one hand, to gain new knowledge and insights, and on the other hand, to develop a reproducible survey methodology resolutely based on liaison librarian-data librarian collaboration. This dataset reflects the results collected during the second phase of the study: "Survey in EPFL Life Sciences Community".
