Description
Since its establishment the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) has compiled a multitude of information on the state of the research data communities and practices within the Helmholtz Association and beyond.
The Information Portal is a web application for capturing FAIR data practices across all Helmholtz domains, offering a unified user interface for collecting and exploring results.
The development was initiated to structure this data, provide accessible information for multi-level decision-making, and create a curated knowledge base for research data managers, scientists, and other stakeholders. It thereby provides a map of the Helmholtz data landscape across all Helmholtz research domains.
Developed through a top-down approach, 18 categories, and associated metadata schemas were defined and aligned throughout the association. Collected data is curated based on these cross-domain aligned metadata schemas these cross-domain aligned metadata schemas.
Built using state-of-the-art technologies, including Python, JavaScript, and Docker, the Information Portal leverages GitLab as a database. Git-based systems offer advantages, such as raw data accessibility, flexible data curation, easy synchronization, and customizable repositories. The Information Portal offers public read-only access for stakeholders and a personal instance for data curation purposes. Both versions are synchronized via GitLab.
The single-page web application is user-friendly and developed in multiple iterations for an intuitive and flexible interface. The Information Portal is important for creating a sustainable, distributed, semantically enriched Helmholtz data space, promoting seamless data sharing and reuse.
