Dear colleagues,

I am excited to release the seventh in our series of Training Module: “Implementing Metadata Standards”! Special thanks to @claireafox for stepping in to co-author this module.

The Training Module series introduces important concepts in emulation and key features of the EaaSI platform. Approximately every three months, a new Training Module connects EaaSI functionality with specific use cases, highlighting a range of implementation scenarios.

We are particularly pleased to release this module in the wake of the SPN Metadata Working Group’s [Software Metadata Recommended Format (SMRF) Guide](https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/smrf-guide/), which provided major inspiration and guidance for how to structure this conversation about the metadata gathered by EaaSI’s student configuration team, and how/where/when/why it goes to use.

During this module, participants will learn about:

- What kind of metadata does EaaSI (the program of work) gather?
- What metadata has been directly incorporated into the EaaSI platform?
- Which standards are influencing EaaSI system design?
- How does EaaSI share/contribute its metadata to the field?
