<p class="MsoNormal">Collective Board Meeting Summary: The value of collecting variable-level metadata (VLMD) from HEAL studies was explored. Underlying the discussion was acknowledgement of the diversity of VLMD across HEAL. Members supported VLMD becoming
 a requirement for future awards for studies producing structured data and emphasized the importance of minimizing the burden on investigators. Investigator education is needed early in the study lifecycle to promote best practice for planning and preparing
 study data and metadata.</p>

Data standards are the guidelines by which data are described and recorded. In order to share, exchange, combine and understand data, we must standardize the format as well as the meaning.

HEAL Data Stewards

[HEAL Semantic Search (HSS) 2.0](https://www.healdatafair.org/resources/semantic-search) is now available, bringing a refreshed interface that makes it easier to explore related studies, variables, Common Data Elements (CDEs), and biomedical concepts from a single search; compare how concepts and variables are defined and measured across studies; and access insights from 20 newly added data dictionaries, over 1000 HEAL studies, and 233 CDEs. Get started today by [entering a search term](https://www.healdatafair.org/resources/semantic-search) relevant to your research.
