Virtual Environments in Experiments: A Prototype

23.10.2024 No Comments

How can virtual environments be used in cooperative experimental work that involves a physical test rig? In an Alex experimental setup, we have developed a prototypical solution that includes provisioning and managing virtual machines and containers tailored to specific project needs. The environments use Conda and Pip for software development and unit testing, ensuring flexibility and scalability and allowing for more efficient analysis and streamlined workflows.

OTGroundTruther

23.10.2024 No Comments

OTGroundTruther is a tool that can be used to carry out manual traffic counting at intersections based on video material. It is possible to capture traffic flows in detail and to distinguish between different road users. It enables the rapid counting of traffic flows if automated recording is not possible with sufficient certainty. In addition, this tool can be used to generate ground truth data for benchmarking the counting accuracy of automated systems.

Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG)

23.10.2024 No Comments

The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) helps researchers find, compare, and reuse scientific findings efficiently. User can organize research contributions semantically so that both humans and machines can easily understand and use them. With ORKG, you can explore knowledge across various disciplines, stay updated, and collaborate on new research. Additionally, ORKG enhances the visibility of research outputs, facilitating better discovery and innovation in the scientific community.

NFDI-RFC Standardisation Concept

23.10.2024 No Comments

The NFDI-RFC (Request For Comments) process is adopted from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard. This process ensures that NFDI community submitted standards are practical, effective, and widely used within the research community. A review process for the publication of NFDI-RFCs was also designed to ensure that they meet the highest quality and integrity standards.

Metadata Profile Service

23.10.2024 No Comments

The NFDI4ING Metadata Profile Service facilitates creation and utilization of FAIR (RDF-based) metadata by making use of metadata profiles that combine terms from existing ontologies into reusable metadata templates. The platform provides functionality for creation, sharing and curation of metadata profiles.

NFDI4Ing Maturity Model

23.10.2024 No Comments

To evaluate the implementation of research data management, maturity models are provided for individual phases, which researchers can use for self-evaluation. The models are aimed at a standardised and optimised implementation of RDM in engineering research projects.

NFDI4Ing Jupyter Service

23.10.2024 No Comments

The NFDI4Ing Jupyter Service provides Jupyterlab servers to the NFDI4Ing community. Jupyter allows interactive programming via the browser in more than 40 programming languages. Via computational notebooks, the code can be enriched with text descriptions, images, videos and more (literate programming).

Ing.est – NFDI4ING Data Ingest Service

23.10.2024 No Comments

The NFDI4Ing Data Ingest Service is the gateway for enhanced research data publication in architecture and civil engineering. With flexible metadata profiles and automation processes, ing.est visualizes your 3D data, assigns persistent identifiers, and ensures long-term archiving with ease.

MetaStore

23.10.2024 No Comments

MetaStore is a research data repository for storing metadata documents and schemas for researchers. Quality and consistency are ensured by associating and validating each (metadata) document against a schema registered in beforehand in the MetaStore. XML and JSON are supported as possible schemas.

MetadataHub

23.10.2024 No Comments

The MetadataHub enables easy access to multiple repositories via a uniform interface. Metadata documents can be created, updated, read, deleted, listed and searched for. Currently AIMS, Coscine and MetaStore are supported via their REST interfaces. New repositories could be easily added by adding a specific mapping to the MetadataHub service.
