Description

In the field of polar and marine environmental research, a diverse array of items including instruments, platforms, models, custom-built facilities, and lab equipment are routinely employed. This results not only in substantial volumes of collected data, but also generates a wealth of accompanying metadata.

In this talk, we highlight the practical utility of registry.awi.de — an authoritative repository within the o2a framework — dedicated to managing essential information concerning platforms, devices, and sensors. We showcase registry.awi.de's efficacy through practical applications in everyday tasks, underscoring its role in preserving item provenance, streamlining data processing, and serving as a central knowledge repository.

Moreover, the study underscores the potential benefits derived from automated workflows and various methods of interfacing with the registry. This multifaceted approach not only simplifies administrative aspects but also enhances overall research efficiency, ensuring the integrity and accessibility of critical metadata while harnessing the advantages of data automation.
