The Czech Core Metadata Model for Research Data (abbreviated as CCMM, hereinafter also referred to as the base model) is defined as one of the main outputs of Key Activity 3 of the Czech Academic and Research Discovery Services project (CARDS).
Objectives the model:
- to establish minimum descriptive elements for datasets, sufficiently general to ensure the model can serve as a foundation applicable across various disciplinary repositories,
- to ensure the interoperability of core metadata across disciplines,
- to serve as a basis for unified search over research data metadata in the National Metadata Directory (Národní metadatový adresář, abbreviated as NMA in Czech), functioning as an exchange format among repositories within the Czech National Data Infrastructure (NDI).
The model is published under the CC BY license.
