3. PID Coordination Hub - Driving FAIR, Open and Persistent Research Practices

Sara El-Gebali (DataCite)

9/22/25, 1:10 PM

To kick things off, Sara El-Gebali, who is a metadata specialist at DataCite and a project member, introduced PID4NFDI. She explained its mission and the crucial role of PIDs in Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) and Data Management Plans (DMPs).

10. Opportunities and Challenges for Common ELN Object Metadata

Tilo Mathes (ResearchSpace)

9/22/25, 1:50 PM

Lightning talks

Tilo Mathes, Product manager and open source lead at ResearchSpace, gave a brief look at the RSpace ELN tool.

12. ORCID iDs within DMPs and ELN

Paloma Marin-Arraiza (ORCID Inc.)

9/22/25, 2:00 PM

Lightning talks

Paloma Marin-Arraiza, Associate Director of Engagement at ORCID, explored the use of ORCID iDs within DMPs and ELNs.

11. PID usage in the NOMAD RDM Software

Sascha Klawohn (FAIRMat)

9/22/25, 2:10 PM

Lightning talks

NOMAD is an RDM software for simulation, experiment and synthesis data developed by the NFDI consortium FAIRmat. This presentation shows how we use DataCite to create DOIs for NOMAD datasets and how our customizable ELN system allows you to define data fields for storing PIDs and automatically filling these fields using custom logic.

16. Tear down the walls! - A guide to combine terminology services with other services.

Roman Baum (ZB MED)

9/22/25, 2:20 PM

Lightning talks

An overarching research data management across all domains is built upon metadata describing research data and their generation. In order to ensure that disciplines can create and share a common understanding of the concepts and relations used to describe data, we need terminologies as a formal representation of domain knowledge. The primary objective of Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI)...
