Another highlight: strong HMC contributions to the Sample Type Classification WG – from FAIR AIMS & IGSN to SEPIA and shared classifications.

Favourite quote: “Metadata is a journey!” ❤️

Thanks #RDA & #UKRI for three inspiring days!

That’s a wrap on #RDAPlenary27! 🌍

Day 3 started with a thought-provoking discussion on data resilience – from sustainable infrastructures & funding to geopolitics, community needs and AI.

A strong reminder that keeping research data accessible requires long-term commitment.

HMC highlight: Our colleague’s pitch on FAIR Digital Objects for machine-actionable metadata sparked lively discussion on PIDs, implementation & collaboration.

Another takeaway: FAIR is key – but so are trust, federation, UX & community.

Day 2 at #RDAPlenary27 focused on sustainable research infrastructures, AI-ready data & interoperability.

A recurring message: building infrastructure is only half the job – long-term commitment, governance and investment matter just as much.

Come by, meet the teams & bring your research questions!
📍 You can find us centrally near the stairs.

📣 Call for Abstracts – #HMCConference2027

Data alone does not tell the whole story.

How does metadata provide context, reveal relationships and turn information into meaning?

Share your perspective at From Metadata to Meaning.

A great first day at #RDAPlenary27 in London! 🌍

Inspiring opening, discussions on sustainable research infrastructures & FAIR practices – followed by a lively poster reception.#HMC joined with contributions on #PIDs, interoperability & sustainable #FAIRdata ecosystems.
