ProMetaS – A Metadata Schema for Process Engineering and Industry

Abstract

Data collection in process industry yields a variety of data types. To maintain the knowledge about the data and to enable finding and reusing them (FAIR data), a common description with metadata is necessary. In the project KEEN, ProMetaS – the Process Engineering/Industry Metadata Schema – was developed. It defines various metadata categories adhering to available metadata standards. In this article, ProMetaS, its implementation into the KEEN data platform, and its application in two use cases is described.
