Abstract [Objective] Conduct a comprehensive analysis of scientific metadata standards and build a common metadata standards design model. [Methods] Make an overview and analysis of six typical metadata standards in different research fields and design common metadata standards of scientific data based on statistics. [Results] There are many obvious differences in format, organization, expression of metadata standards of different research fields, but there are also some similarities in its elements. [Conclusions] Discipline-oriented metadata standards of scientific data promote the development of scientific research, but also pose a challenge to the unified management and service of scientific data. Based on the statistics of metadata standards elements in different research fields and build a common metadata specification is an idea to solve this problem.
