Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreihe „Subject Specific Research Data Repositories - A Hands-On Workshop Series“.
This workshop is part of a series on subject specific research data repositories with relevance to the five schools of the TU Dresden.
With open science becoming a standard practice in research, university and research libraries are increasingly tasked with providing services to support the FAIR publication of research data. Many German and European research grants require a mandatory strategy for publishing research data in their application forms. Alongside education on good research data management (RDM) practices, selecting a suitable repository is an important step in this process.
This workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the functionality of a reputable, free and open repository developed by FAIRmat. FAIRmat is a consortium of the NFDI and provides the condensed-matter physics and chemical physics of solids community with the infrastructure, tools, and knowledge to make their research data FAIR. NOMAD was built to to be a FAIR and federated data infrastructure for materials science. During a hands-on session, participants will input a provided dataset into the metadata fields, with the chance to ask questions and discuss their experiences. This highlights potential challenges during metadata input and equips fellow educators to anticipate user questions.
Descriptive metadata is crucial for the findability of research data, and continued access is ensured by using an appropriate repository. Reusability increases with comprehensive documentation and meaningful context information for any dataset. In addition to an introduction to core RDM principles and the reasons and benefits of publishing research data, there will be interactive elements to further awareness of the importance of metadata and good documentation practices.
Speaker: Janna Little is an Information Science graduate from FH Potsdam, and in the role of Data Steward at the SLUB since January 2023.
