Terms of use & restrictions

NFDI4ING provided a GitLab instance with enterprise features to spread best practices in RSE. Meanwhile many federal states set up central instances; like git.nrw adopting NFDI4ING’s principles. Consequently, the discipline specific service as part of NFDI4ING is handed over to statewide infrastructures in 2025 and driving the cultural change of using GitLab features in RSE is considered a success.

Tags

NFDI4ING services may be relevant to different users according to varying requirements. To support filtering or sorting, we added a tag system outlining which archetype, phase of the data lifecycle, or degree of maturity a service corresponds to. By clicking on one of the tags below, you can get an overview of all services aligned with each tag.

This service has the following tags:

Alex, Betty, Caden, Describing & Documenting, Doris, Ellen, Fiona, Informing & Planning, IRL3, Service, Storing & Computing

The tags correspond to:
The Archetypes: Services relevant to Alex – Bespoke Experiments, Betty – Research Software Engineering, Caden – Provenance Tracking, Doris – High Performance Computing, Ellen – Complex Systems, Fiona – Data Re-Use and Enrichment

The data lifecycle: Services related to Informing & Planning, Organising & Processing, Describing & Documenting, Storing & Computing,
Finding & Re-Using, Learning & Teaching

The maturity of the service: Services sorted according to their maturity and status of their integration into the larger NFDI service landscape. For this we use the Integration Readiness Level (IRL), ranging from IRL0 (no specifications, strictly internal use) up to IRL4 (fully integrated in the German research data landscape and the EOSC).
