The world of data is changing. Official statistics organizations need
to find, acquire and integrate data from both traditional and new data
sources at an ever-increasing pace, while maintaining the usability and
quality of outputs. Data cycles are shorter, and AI and ML continue to
accelerate the need for data.</p>
<p>In this context, the demand for metadata is also changing. Metadata
now needs to support <a href="https://www.go-fair.org/">FAIR</a>, the Open Science
vision and other initiatives that require transparency, reproducibility
and data that is not only easy to find and use, but also comparable and
interoperable across domains. To this end, we need <a href="../manifesto.html">“smart” metadata</a> that
is standard, machine-actionable, capable of enhancing data quality and
usability, and rich enough to drive the statistical process.</p>

The COSMOS conference is a place where the official statistics
community can work together to define, share, use, and manage smart
metadata. Through sharing of experiences, techniques, and tools, and
through forward-looking consideration of the challenges we face as a
community, we can better meet the demands of the modern data landscape.
We encourage official statisticians, metadata experts, data managers,
and those involved in the collection, production, and dissemination of
statistics to attend.</p>

The use of metadata can extend beyond their function of describing and
helping to understand data. Based on machine-actionable semantically
rich standard, metadata can automatically generate components of the
statistical process and/or trigger their executions. They take on a new
role to some extent, no longer simply “information to facilitate
understanding of statistics” but becoming “data used in the statistical
business process”; hence the notion of active metadata.</p>
