The date for the first NFDI4Ing Community Meeting in 2025 is set. On January 16th, 2025 we will host a (virtual) meeting to present and discuss common problems and solutions concerning our Archetype Caden.
We will update this page with more information as soon as it becomes available. For now, lets (re-)introduce Caden:
“Hello, I’m Caden. I’m an engineer whose research deals with complex sequences of processing and analysing steps, applied to samples and/or data sets. My professional background is mostly informed by materials science, building materials science, materials technology, process engineering, and technical chemistry.
For me, the output of one processing step is the input of a subsequent one. The processed objects can be physical samples (specimens) or data samples. For instance, I synthesise an alloy sample, temper, and etch it. After that, I analyse the sample in various measurement setups, creating data sets. Thus, in the context of my data management, physical and data samples are treated the same and both are commonly referred to as “entities”. Similarly, all kinds of processing steps, whether working on physical or data samples are referred to as “activities”. The resulting graph of entities and activities comprises my workflow.“
