ABSTRACT
Introduction
Meaningful metadata are essential for the description, retrieval and reuse of data, in particular in multi-centric cooperative research projects. For the Integrative Human Circadian Daylight Platform (iHCDP, [https://ihcdp.org/][1]), a collaborative, transnational project between the University of Basel (Switzerland), the Technical University of Munich and the...
Metadata is the foremost element in data management strategy when taking account of the F.A.I.R.(findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) principles, what is becoming increasingly important within the scientific community. Additionally, there is a strong need for better data integration and enrichment in the field of high-intensity laser-plasma physics in an international context: at...
Ion chromatography (IC) is an analytical method that separates ions in liquid samples according to their chemical and physical properties. This analytical method is widely used in different scientific fields such as environmental science (for example wastewater or soil analysis), food technology (food extract analysis), applied plasma science (characterization of plasma treated liquids) and...
Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) are essential for gathering analog metadata, including challenging-to-digitize experimental parameters. However, interdisciplinary research institutions often employ various systems, creating barriers to metadata exchange. Addressing this interoperability gap, we're developing an API-based data exchange to enhance interoperability between the ELNs Herbie and...
Summary
Our presentation reflects the topic ‘Facilitating connectivity of research data’, in particular the subtopics: ‘Metadata annotation and management during and close to the research process’, and ‘Data interoperability through harmonised metadata and interoperable semantics’.
The presentation describes significant advances in incorporating metadata into the RSpace digital...
The environment plays an increasingly important role for human health and efficient linkage with environmental and earth observation data is crucial to quantify human exposures. Currently, there are no harmonized metadata standards for automatic mapping. This project aims to facilitate the linkage of data of different research fields by generating and enriching interoperable and...
Data acquisition (DAQ) systems continue to advance in power, but manual data input will remain required as experiments necessarily check for the unforeseen. Researchers often use electronic lab books or fallback solutions like Excel or Google Docs to record actions and events, highlighting the need for an intuitive interface that enables live- and post-processing while remaining linkable to...
Currently the amount and diversity of high-quality atmospheric remote sensing observations from satellites is quickly increasing, and their synergetic use offers unprecedented knowledge gaining opportunities. FAIR data are important for this kind of data interoperability and reusability. This project will lead to FAIR satellite data products. It will develop metadata standards for describing...
