Images to describe data: Summary of interview transcripts to assess the role of imagery metadata in data description

The description is one of the most important phases of the RDM process. Taking this idea into consideration, we used a qualitative method of investigation through an exploratory case study where we conducted 16 semi-structured interviews, with researchers who have produced, described, and published research data, to understand how images can assume the role of metadata in data description. All the data was anonymized. The interviews took place between November 2022 and January 2023. The interview consisted of eight open questions. To support the interview, a mockup was created of the data repository where the participants have their data published, with a simulated example of a data deposit in which images were used as metadata. This mockup was shown to the participants to help them get a concrete idea of what they were studying.
