The rapid increase in data collection and generation has created a gap between raw data production and the capacity to standardize it. Manual metadata harmonization, which involves standardizing labels, identifiers, and formats, often delays analysis and limits the value of shared datasets.
An AI-powered approach to metadata correction and harmonization transforms this process, allowing it to scale with increasing data volumes. This method aims to convert metadata management from a time-consuming task into an efficient process that supports open science.
A centralized metadata correction and harmonization workflow has been developed on AWS to ensure consistency, interoperability, and accuracy across various metadata sources. The system utilizes Amazon Bedrock for large language model (LLM)-powered schema alignment and correction recommendations. Other AWS services include Amazon S3 for storage, Amazon DynamoDB for job tracking, Amazon Cognito for authentication, and Amazon ECS for compute.
The system operates as a cyclical workflow. Users upload metadata files, which then undergo parallel validation streams: schema alignment for column structures and metadata field validation for individual values. When issues are detected, the system generates correction recommendations, and users retain final authority over changes.

A new workflow built on AWS uses AI for metadata correction and harmonization, addressing the challenge of standardizing large volumes of data. This system aims to automate the process of aligning metadata schemas and validating data integrity, which traditionally has been a manual bottleneck in data analysis.
