This year’s meeting of the mechanical and industrial engineering community (CC-41) focuses on the application of data models. Guests from the field of production engineering

Betty is the NFDI4Ing task area covering the research data management challenges faced by engineers who develop their own software solutions. Betty envisions a future

Providing Research Data Management (RDM) support and education is a central goal of NFDI4Ing. Together, the Base Service measure S-6, the Community Cluster measure CC-2,

While experimental data and methods are commonly reported as “best outcome” figure of merits, the systematic process parameters (while being crucial for achieved outcome, in particular in combination and chains of different process steps) are often neglected or buried in hard-to-access lab books and similar sources. This complicates and prolongs process optimization, especially when different printing and post-processing steps need to be combined for a specific application. The project ReCIPE aimed at setting up a tool for researchers and users of printed electronics that can grow into a broad open database on process parameters and connected outcomes for the wider academic and industry-based community.

Data processing is usually not a  single task, but in general relies on a chain of tools. To achieve transparency, adaptability, and reproducibility of (computational)

From its inception, members of NFDI4Ing have been working on a concept for the publication and organization of standards in the field of research data. By now, the concept is quite advanced and ready for the next step. The working group “Standardisation” (CC-5) is looking for interested persons from the community to support the work and to get the implementation underway.
