Chaitali Suhas Bagwe (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH)4. Human-machine collaboration in (meta)data acquisitionPoster
Modern cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) experiments generate large imaging datasets along with extensive metadata. This metadata describes microscope configurations, acquisition parameters, and experimental conditions. At shared microscopy facilities, metadata is often spread across multiple vendor-specific acquisition tools. It is stored in different file formats and locations. As a result,...

Fabian Kirchner (Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon)4. Human-machine collaboration in (meta)data acquisitionDemo Poster
There is an increasing effort in scientific communities to create shared vocabularies and ontologies. These build the foundation of a semantically annotated knowledge graph which can surface all research data and enable holistic data analysis across various data sources and research domains.
Making machine-generated data available in such a knowledge graph is typically done by setting up...

Shiva Nahani (FIZ Karlsruhe)11. Semantics in Practice: Domain & Application OntologiesPoster
Core ontologies play a fundamental role in data interoperability, particularly when data and metadata originate from heterogeneous sources across disciplines, such as in the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). They provide a shared, minimal, and stable semantic backbone that enables disciplines to communicate, understand, and integrate data consistently.
To support...

RDF and OWL vocabularies are an important prerequisite for the FAIR representation of metadata. These vocabularies itself must adhere to certain quality standards to be useful. Over the last years, the Semantic Web community has come up with many recommendations as well as anti-patterns for the development of vocabularies. But, checks for compliance to these best practices can still only be...

At the German Aerospace Center in Augsburg, the data management system shepard (Storage for Heterogeneous Production and Research Data) is being developed as a tool for research data management. It organizes data and brings metadata to the data by organizational elements, starting from Collections as top level elements above Data Objects which in turn contain Data References. The latter point...

High-quality subject-specific metadata is essential for FAIR research data and for ensuring the comprehensibility and reproducibility of research. Within NFDI4ING and the Applying Interoperable Metadata Standards (AIMS) project, we developed an approach for creating subject-specific RDF-compliant metadata profiles in the form of SHACL shapes. These profiles enable precise, flexible and...

Dr. Markus Möller (Julius Kühn Institute)7. Enriched Metadata for Decision Support SystemsPoster
Agricultural decision support systems—from crop insurance to yield forecasting—depend critically on trustworthy geodata metadata. However, quality information is typically scattered across documentation, leaving uncertainty and fitness-for-purpose reasoning opaque to users.
We present a best practice example for enriching weather index metadata that operationalizes quality, uncertainty, and...

Anna Lehmann-Gnirck (Fachhochschule Potsdam)6. Empowering Research Communities: Bringing Metadata into ActionPoster
Metadata recommendations only unfold their effect when translated into concrete research practice. Within the context of the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016), FAIR assessment tools increasingly assume this translational role by interpreting metadata into measurable indicators for FAIRness. They are frequently understood as neutral instruments for assessing data quality (Pellegrino &...

Johann Wurz (HMC/UFZ)4. Human-machine collaboration in (meta)data acquisitionPoster
Building a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data space requires more than individual good practice; it demands coordinated measures across infrastructures, facilities, and research associations. Within the Helmholtz Association, implementing the FAIR principles in practice involves integrating heterogeneous data infrastructures into a cohesive ecosystem. This work aims to...

To ensure FAIR data (Wilkinson et al., 2016: https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18), well-described datasets with rich metadata are essential for interoperability and reusability. In Earth System Science, NetCDF is the quasi-standard for storing multidimensional data, supported by metadata conventions such as Climate and Forecast (CF, https://cfconventions.org/) and Attribute Convention for...

Maxime Gorres (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich Systems Analysis, 52425 Jülich, Germany)4. Human-machine collaboration in (meta)data acquisitionDemo Poster
Systematic literature reviews are fundamental to energy system analysis, yet are often time-consuming, incomplete, and inconsistent. While manually curated datasets provide valuable structured information for specific subdomains of energy research, extending such efforts to the entire field remains challenging. At the same time, easily accessible and extensible quanti-tative evidence would...

Emanuel Söding (ORTC)6. Empowering Research Communities: Bringing Metadata into ActionPoster
At the Helmholtz Association, we aim to establish a well-structured, harmonized data space that integrates information across distributed data infrastructures. Achieving this goal requires standardizing dataset descriptions using appropriate metadata and defining a single source of truth for much of this metadata, from which different systems can draw. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) in metadata...

Preclinical radiation oncology research produces many different types of data to answer different contexts such as how experiments are designed, how treatments are applied, and how tumors respond to the treatment. This inherent heterogeneity causes challenges in data integration, to ask clear questions across studies, and reusability for new research.

The Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) encompasses 26 consortia across life sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and engineering. Research data infrastructures, including the NFDI, face the challenge of a heterogeneous landscape of terminologies and semantic descriptions. These differences stem from diverse modeling paradigms, ranging from lightweight SKOS vocabularies to...

Mojeeb Rahman Sedeqi (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH (HZB), Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC))6. Empowering Research Communities: Bringing Metadata into ActionDemo Poster
Scientific data collected at large-scale research infrastructures is only as reusable and reproducible as the metadata describing the samples under investigation. In practice, sample metadata is often incomplete, fragmented across systems, or insufficiently linked to experiments, datasets, and people. The SEPIA (Sample Essentials, Persistent Identifiers & Attributes) system addresses this...

As baseline for a satisfaction of the FAIR4RS principles, research software must be published with metadata in publication repositories that assign persistent identifiers and make the metadata accessible. Additionally, published software metadata must be correct, and rich enough to further improve findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability. Metadata curation for software...
