MareHub, as part of DataHub, is a joint initiative of the marine research centers in the Helmholtz Association’s Earth and Environment research field. Together with the Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung (DAM) MareHub integrates research data infrastructures to digitally capture and secure heterogeneous research data right from the outset and publish it as joint data products in accordance with the FAIR principles.
At an operational level, experts from the center’s research and digital infrastructure teams establish cross-centre working groups to develop data workflows from the field to publication in repositories. They cover topics ranging from the implementation of common metadata standards and terminologies to schemas and SDI interfaces, while providing the HMC with recommendations based on practical feasibility, and vice versa.
- From the outset, the possibility of a standardised recording of all necessary metadata, together with recommended PIDs and a handle system, plays a decisive role in ensuring permanent transparency. Therefore, the web-based O2A REGISTRY was developed to manage metadata of measurement platforms, devices, sensors and product-related information. It supports all scientists, device managers, data managers and curators involved in the whole process.
- In addition to ongoing coordination efforts, the joint publication of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) was identified as a unifying measure to successfully create FAIR data and metadata. Agreed workflows, data and metadata formats, terminologies and schemas for the entire process are published as SOPs in a dedicated DAM community space on Zenodo.
- Finally, the data products are also processed within the data workflow in accordance with the guidelines of a common SDI enabling them to be visualized and explored in thematic and featured viewers within the jointly developed Marine Data Portal as well as the Earth Data Portal.
