Metadata Discovery Problem - To conduct a well-designed and reproducible study, researchers must define and adhere to clear inclusion and exclusion criteria for subjects. Similarly, a well-run journal or conference should publish easily understood inclusion and exclusion criteria that determine which submissions will receive more detailed peer review. This will empower authors to identify the conferences and journals that are the best fit for their manuscripts while allowing organizers and peer reviewers to spend more time on the submissions that are of greatest interest. To provide a more systematic way of representing these criteria, we extend the syntax for concept-validating constraints of the Nexus-PORTAL-DOORS-Scribe cyberinfrastructure, which already serve as criteria for inclusion of records in a repository, to allow description of exclusion criteria.
