SIG Metadata

Objective

The purpose of this SIG is to reach out to communities who are either already using Rucio's metadata functionality or interested in using it, to ascertain if the functionality currently provided in this area is sufficient for their current and expected future use cases. This information will be distilled into the form of a small report, where, if missing functionality is identified, the report will serve to aggregate any similar requests and prioritise them, with the goal of delivering a tentative roadmap to guide development.
