The latest release of the Metadata4Ing (m4i) ontology facilitates the usage within RO-Crates and the modelling of physical quantities and data sets. The ontology can be used to document engineering research processes in a machine-readable way.

This year’s joint Community Meeting of Alex and Doris focused on the topic “Best Practices of RDM in Thermal and Process Engineering”.

We incorporated comments and feedback from the NFDI4ING community into this updated version to better support data management planning and make use of new features in RDMO.

We are pleased to announce the first stable 1.0 release of the open source virtual research environment Kadi4Mat. This version marks the culmination of several years of work and improvements since the initial release of Kadi4Mat and also includes the first stable version of its application programming interface.

We are once again looking for researchers in the engineering sciences to share with us their experiences and needs for handling research data.

NFDI4Ing’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are the place for exchange between NFDI4Ing and interested experts from the community. In the SIG “RDM Training”, we work together on reviewing and improving RDM trainings.

By utilizing large language models to provide an automated method for extracting knowledge from a vast amount of literature and integrating it with the research data management platform, users will be offered more intelligent data management and analysis methods.

GOLO’s Field Database Platform (FDP) redefines field data management with digital twin technology. It offers real-time visualization, interactive analysis, and efficient filtering, turning complex sensor data into actionable insights and enhancing research efficiency.

The transparent and sustainable scientific exchange of methods, results and findings along the FAIR principles is one of the greatest challenges facing science today. To show how these challenges can be met with innovative technologies, the most recent NFDI4Ing Community Meeting presenting the work of our archetype ELLEN took place on June 6th.
