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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Are you an engineer in a project to (re-)program scientific code? Or are you a student in a likewise project? Or maybe you are a project/data manager looking for some inspiration and advice? Then this Knowledge Base might be just for you!
We cover multiple topics regarding the development of scientific software, e.g. Version Control and Continuous Integration.
The software ecosystem of Kadi4Mat includes different tools and libraries that are built around and on top of Kadi4Mat, the generic and open source virtual research environment.
Kadi4Mat is a generic and open source virtual research environment, which can be hosted as a web-based service. The instances hosted at KIT can be leveraged to enhance (meta)data management and integration in the engineering community working in academia, research institutions, or industry.
Jarves provides guidance in RDM by ordering the RDM activities based on their occurrence in the engineering research process. Taking into account the specific RDM requirements of a research project, e.g. requirements of funding organisations or institutional boundaries, a decision support system provides information on the next steps and available tools. Alongside, matching trainings for the current step are provided. Furthermore, Jarves offers a broad connectivity to other services, allowing for seamless (meta)data exchange.
Ing.grid is a scholarly-led diamond open access journal for FAIR data management in engineering sciences. It uses an open peer review process and accepts data and software submissions in addition to regular manuscripts.
