Finding the E in ELSA. Exploring Ethical Challenges across the NFDI is the topic of the NFDI Task Force Ethics Workshop on 28 February 2024.
The first NFDI4Ing Community Meeting of 2024 will take place in a virtual format on February 27th. The event is aimed at scientists from all engineering communities who are interested in research software.
A new publication discusses possible future roles of Data Management Plans (DMPs), templates, and tools in the upcoming NFDI service architecture. This position paper summarises ideas developed and collected during interdisciplinary workshops of the Data Management Planning Working Group (infra-dmp), which is part of the section Common Infrastructures of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in Germany.
Last year, we invited the engineering communities to topical community meetings, six in total. Starting with 2024, we switch from topical to “arche-topical” community meetings, representing the NFDI4Ing archetypes. We kick things off with BETTY, our archetype focused on engineering research software!
To fight the reproducibility crisis in science, the NFDI4Ing task area ALEX is developing PlotSerializer – a Python package for serializing scientific diagrams from popular libraries like matplotlib to json.
The NFDI4Ing Metadata Profile Service is a platform that facilitates creation, curation and sharing of metadata profiles. The profiles are based on the W3C recommendation SHACL and can be created in a graphical user interface by selecting suitable terms from existing ontologies.
Ideally, researchers can incorporate existing, established and tested research software into their own work. BETTY tries to help researchers in finding existing software suitable for their needs, developing new software, and publishing software artifacts in a sustainable and reproducible way.
