The growing demand for discoverable and accessible research data and metadata, driven by FAIR principles and user requirements for data portals, repositories, and search engines, has led to an increasing popularity of interactive, particularly map-based, data exploration. However, aligning technical realities with custom user visions in the design of sustainable services for interactive map...

High-throughput sequencing is now central to biodiversity assessment and paleoecological reconstruction, both relying on multi-step pipelines whose choices shape ecological interpretation. Existing solutions are either flexible but poorly documented scripts, or standardized but rigid, infrastructure-heavy platforms, leaving little room for adaptable tools. We address this gap with two...

Preparing data management ahead of a cruise through O2A REGISTRY’s mission management pays off well beyond the campaign itself. Standardized item sets and persistent identifiers assigned during cruise planning carry through into post-cruise data handling, making file-based data — such as Multibeam, Oceanographic, Weather, Seismic, and Timeseries data — together with their metadata,...

Every campaign aboard a research vessel is facing unique challenges and uncertainties, nonetheless the chances for standardization and harmonization in data flows are manyfold to come FAIR (meta)data a bit closer. Hence, we consequently make use of the mission management system of O2A REGISTRY to i) create sets of shipborne standard items, ii) (semi-)automatize the cruise preparation from a...

The Helmholtz Coastal Data Center (HCDC) operates and maintains the GeoHub, a data portal enabling Hereon scientists to share information internally, with external scientists and the public. It hosts data products, exposed through OGC-compliant endpoints and web applications such as maps, dashboards, and data-centric websites.
In the context of increasing pressures on coastal and climate...

The project instrugram aims to simplify and standardize the registration of proper instrument metadata and the inclusion of PIDs. This will be done with a templating system based on the already existing PIDINST scheme, to prepare complete metadata sets for various instrument types. A software component to register metadata from those templates at exchangeable target systems will be developed.

The Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P) is the primary international programme dedicated to sustained, long-term monitoring of permafrost. Recently, the network was accredited by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) as an Affiliated Network, reflecting the importance of permafrost as one of the 55 Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) defined by GCOS for characterizing Earth’s...

Imaging systems now acquire images faster than their contents can be annotated by hand, making cataloguing the bottleneck and leading to increasing costs with collection size. Existing methods only address a part of the problem: unsupervised segmentation and embedding group visually similar objects but don’t attach labels to the group; supervised detectors return interpretable classes while...

Field research generates diverse and valuable samples under demanding conditions, yet their long-term usability is often constrained by fragmented data management and heterogeneous workflows. The O2A Sample Management System (O2A SAMPLES) addresses these challenges by providing a sustainable, interoperable platform for traceable, FAIR-compliant, and AI-ready sample metadata across disciplines....

Metabarcoding, the sequencing of marker genes from environmental samples to identify the or-ganisms present, is central to biodiversity and environmental research, and its data volumes are growing quickly. Turning these data into a lasting, shareable resource depends on keeping se-quences, their metadata, and analyses connected and archive-ready, which remains difficult to do consistently...

Over the past decade, German marine research centers have increasingly collaborated to improve interoperability between their locally developed information systems and to establish shared infrastructure. Today, the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM) coordinates this collaboration and the joint development of a federated marine information and data infrastructure.

Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are key to FAIR and reproducible research. At GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, we use a range of PIDs, including ORCID for persons, ROR for organizations, IGSN for samples, and DOIs for publications, software and datasets, as well as Handles for the later. Implementation varies across systems, with many manual processes still manual and lacking...

A LEGO research vessel demonstrating how near real-time data flows through O2A. Polarsternchen is a hands-on model closely following the path that data from research vessels take through the O2A dataflow framework, from metadata and setup description through automated data ingest to data monitoring.

Knowledge graphs enable the structuring and linking of scientific metadata from heterogeneous sources, supporting advanced search and analysis. Their effectiveness, however, depends on the level of metadata consistency and standardization. Graphs linking high-quality topical information can also be very useful for training tailored LLMs and AI models for specific purposes. With this activity,...

Numerical model simulations are an essential part of earth system research. They help to reconstruct and to forecast the state of the earth system with varying complexity and resolution in space and time. In order to accomplish this task in a sustainable and verifiable manner it is imperative to adhere to the FAIR principles : Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuse. While the output data...
