Description
Workshops for the following target audience:
- Wet lab scientists, data stewards, principal investigators
- All those who are interested in the workshop topics
Standardised and well annotated metadata are a cornerstone of the FAIR data principles. In this workshop, we will begin with the metadata standards developed and maintained by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), which provides checklists and extensions for a variety of environments and biomes. We will then zoom in on the minimal metadata standards for environmental and biological context...
Discover how Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) enhance reproducibility, collaboration, and FAIR compliance in microbiota workflows. We will demonstrate best practices in eLabFTW - a free and open source favorite in the field - by covering its interface, metadata features, and integrations, then guide you through a hands-on exercise to create and manage a sample project. By the end, you’ll be...
This workshop covers fundamental research data management (RDM) practices, including drafting a Data Management Plan (DMP) and working with common metadata standards. Through brief interactive examples, participants will learn how to structure a DMP and tag datasets using existing schemas.
Virus research depends on accurate sequence and metadata, but is often hampered by errors in user-submitted data and a lack of standardized metadata practices. Viral genomes are small and highly variable and current challenges in their organization are compounded by inconsistencies in related metadata (e.g., taxonomy, segment nomenclature, lifecycle definitions). VirJenDB (VJDB; virjendb.org)...
