The NFDI4ING Terminology Service bundles and standardises access to existing terminologies and semantic models for research data management purposes. They form the basis for clear and meaningful communication between producers and users of research data for their subsequent use in innovative research. Clear communication is a basic prerequisite for innovative research, especially in areas such as the highly complex engineering sciences.
The NFDI4ING Q&A platform is here to empower researchers in the engineering sciences with a collaborative space to ask and answer questions about their research data management. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or just starting out, this platform is designed to foster knowledge exchange and support your research journey.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coscine is a RDM platform for the active phase of research projects that enables NFDI4ING researchers to access storage space on DataStorage.nrw while guaranteeing the FAIR principles. Projects created in Coscine enable role management, metadata management, public sharing of data, referencing with PIDs and archiving of research and metadata for 10 years. In addition, project-related GitLab repositories can be integrated and external files linked. Registration takes place via your own organization (using the NFDI4ING community AAI) or ORCiD.
Betty’s (Re) Search Engine aims to solve the issue of finding research software. The engine searches for software repositories that match a given search string and then tries to find corresponding publications as well as all available metadata. This enables users to sort the repositories based on the number of citations, apply various filters and it also directly provides an impression about the research contexts in which a software has been successfully applied.
