Hello @hawc2, @jenniferisasi, @marie-flesch and @ericbrasiln,

I am adding two new topics which were suggested during the Phase 6 checks for two of our lessons: modeling (Simulating Historical Networks in Python) and metadata (Promoviendo la ciencia abierta con Wikidata: visibilidad y apertura de los Portales de Revistas Académicas – title TBC).

I've drafted a description for modeling: could you check that my suggested translations are correct?

I would also particularly appreciate your help with drafting a description for medatata, and providing translations. @jenniferisasi, perhaps you have an idea inspired by the Wikidata lesson?

• "Metadata, the information we create, store, and share to describe things, allows us
  to interact with these things to obtain the knowledge we need." from a NISO document
• "Metadata is to inform researchers about different aspects of the research data." from Utrecht Centre for Digital Humanities

Can you think of any past lessons which also relate to these topics? I can retroactively tag them.

In the new year, I'll also run an audit of our lesson topics and descriptions to ensure we are tagging lessons as clearly and effectively as we can, in preparation for our technical infrastructure renewal. For one, we'd like the descriptions to actually be visible to readers on the site!

Hello @hawc2, @jenniferisasi, @marie-flesch and @ericbrasiln,

Happy New Year! 🎉 I hope you've enjoyed a well-deserved break.

I just wanted to bring your attention back to this PR as we start the new year together. I would really appreciate your feedback on the modeling descriptions, as well as some ideas for how to describe the metadata topic (see my comment above). Getting this PR merged will allow us to publish two new lessons that are currently in the last stages of the workflow!

Also, can you think of any past lessons which also relate to these topics? If there are any, I can retroactively tag them.

Thank you very much for your help – looking forward to another great year at PH with all of you.

Thank you, @charlottejmc.

I've adjusted the PR so that we don't close the corresponding Issue yet (in case the MEs want to suggest any adjustments to the descriptions or translations).

Hi @charlottejmc,

Happy New Year! 🎉 I hope you had a wonderful and restful break.

The suggested translations in Portuguese are correct.

Regarding the metadata topic, the lesson about Git could be a good fit: Git como ferramenta metodológica para projetos de história.
