Bioinformatician Sagane is shown here annotating 80 metadata fields for a sample. These metadata fields will be used to generate a high-quality reference genome. It is important to recognize that the significance of the image lies in recognizing metadata as providing context for our research. This image tributes the idea that, in science, context is as indispensable as content.

In the context of a data-driven world, it advocates for the enhancement of metadata's importance in research practices. It encourages a paradigm shift towards comprehensive metadata annotation, allowing for a more thorough understanding of our research. This comprehensive approach to metadata promises to deliver substantial benefits to society, extending to individuals and organizations actively participating in the sampling process.
