In this workshop we aim to identify the specific needs of university groups organised within DAPHNE regarding small-scale, on-side SciCat installations. The workshop is organised in collaboration between TA3 and TA2 of DAPHNE as well as the SciCat Collaboration.

While we aim for a more general introduction into SciCat in the beginning of the workshop, there will also be room to address questions with increased technical depth in the round-table discussion.

We would like to cover at least the following topics (non-exhaustive list):

1. Typical use-cases of small-scale SciCat installations
   • which kind of data sets?
   • how does the data enter into SciCat?
   • how to import (old) existing data sets?
2. Specific feature needs (to be defined during the meeting), e.g.
   • data ingestion through web-interface
   • metadata schema management ideas
   • ...
3. The ease of deploying SciCat in a production ready environment without extensive IT support
   • envisioned deployment strategies
   • user account provisioning (AAI)
4. Further aspects
   • will be part of the round-table discussion

Potentially this workshop may lead to a draft on how to collaboratively coordinate SciCat activities within DAPHNE to ensure sustainability of these developments.

2 Draft of a SciCat ingestion frontend & metadata schema management (Uni Tübingen)

Within Frank Schreiber's Group we have integrated SciCat into the infrastructure of a university group and started some development activicites on additional SciCat features which could serve as blueprint coordinated DAPHNE activities.
