Target audience
This workshop is meant to be a beginner-friendly introduction suitable for newbies when it comes to data submission and the collection of appropriate biological metadata in microbiome research.
The target audience of the workshop is:
- Person with knowledge about microbiology
- Late-stage (wet lab) researchers with datasets that are in preparation to be submitted to repositories
- Early-stage researchers that will be generating huge datasets
- Researchers having difficulties to apply exisiting ontologies and metadata fields to their dataset
- Data stewards or broker responsible for submitting data
Learning Objectives
After this workshop you will...
- have prepared the necessary metadata to ease the upload of your data to a repository of your choice.
- know how to describe your datasets in a FAIR manner which ensures that your uploaded data is findable and re-usable by machines and humans for big data analysis and comparable results by you and others.
- be able to select terms based on existing ontologies and controlled vocabulary (to increase future machine-actionable analysis).
- be knowledgeable on how to suggest new (machine-actionable) terms.
- have discussed with peers about struggles with the repository requirements on metadata upload and found solutions.
- provide feedback to NFDI4Microbiota consortium about your future requirements and wishes of (semi-) automated metadata collection and upload processes.
During this workshop, we will not..
- upload or publish your data
- analyze/ re-analyze your data
- develop an ontology
- set-up an automatic transfer of your metadata to repositories
