David Massey serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Archivistics, Library and Information Science within the Faculty of Social Sciences at Oslo Metropolitan University. He is actively affiliated with the Information Systems based on Metadata (METAINFO) research group, contributing to metadata-driven information system development.

His research focuses on:
