MF met IZ at the RDA plenary in Berlin in March 2018, when IZ attended our interest group session. He contacted us to talk about submitting an MRPI (multicampus research proposal for the UC system), and we spoke with him via zoom on 8 May 2018.
He has two infrastructures/tools that can be useful to us and we committed to explore with him, both as part of an MRPI proposal and possibly as an NSF proposal:
1. A metadata aggregator/enhancer, CINERGI:

This may be useful for the Empiricial Humanities Metadata WG to explore as well.
2. SuAve, Survey Analysis via Visual Exploration:
