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).
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.
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.
A python-written metadata crawler that allows to automatically retrieve relevant research metadata from script-based workflows on HPC systems. The tool offers a flexible approach to metadata collection, as the metadata scheme can be read out from an ontology file. Through minimal user input, the crawler can be adapted to the user’s needs and easily implemented within the workflow, enabling to retrieve relevant metadata.
GitLab is an open-source-software to host and manage own Git-repositories. Besides the main task of the code-management other functions like a simple issue-tracking-system, a wiki and also an option to review codes are covered. With this GitLab supports the developer, who increase the quality of the developed program codes.
DataDesc is a framework that allows describing data models of software interfaces with machine-actionable metadata. The framework provides a specialized metadata schema, an exchange format and support tools for the easy collection and automated publishing of software documentation. DataDesc practically increases the FAIRness, i.e., findability, accessibility, interoperability, and the reusability of research software, as well as effectively promotes its impact on research.
