Automating (Meta)Data Transfer to Coscine
Source: Own illustration
If you attended our courses on the research data management platform Coscine and Metadata, you know we need to securely store our data and annotate them with meaningful metadata and that Coscine can help you here. You probably also know doing that by hand can be tedious. Let’s automate it!
In this course, we will use a Jupyter Notebook to create Python script for automated data transfer in a step-by-step process. We will interact with the Coscine projects and resources using the Coscine Python SDK. In the end, you will have the foundations to create your own scripts to automate your data workflows, enabling you to transfer data and metadata from a local computer or server to Coscine.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on research data management (RDM II – modular). The basics on research data management are covered by the Moodle course “Überblick zum Management von Forschungsdaten (FDM I-online)” / “Research Data Management – an Overview (RDM I – online)“. Please use this course as introduction to Research Data Management.

Research Data Day 2024 – Organized by Forschungszentrum Jülich & RWTH Aachen University
Source: fdm.nrw
On November 12, 2024, Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and RWTH Aachen University will host the 4th Day of Research Data in NRW, a full-day event on research data management (RDM) and data science. The morning program will be organized by the state initiative fdm.nrw and broadcast as an online program (in German) in the lecture hall of the PGI. In the afternoon, the focus will be on regional networks under the motto “Successful research networks: growing together with data” (in English). Tools and services in the field of RDM and data science will be presented in interactive and practical sessions. Participants can explore two of the following topics in depth:
- De.KCD: Research Data Management in the Cloud
- DKZ.2R: Reducing data-related hurdles in research
- HDS-LEE: Data-intensive workflows in science
- HMC: Organizing software metadata with Somesy and FAIR Python Cookiecutter
The afternoon program ends with a poster session and an open exchange over drinks and pastries, where participants can network and present their own projects. Registration for the event is possible via this link.

RDM platform Coscine – more than free quota!
Source: Own illustration
Contemporary research involves conscious research data management (RDM) with the aim of generating high-quality research data and keeping it sustainably (re)usable, i.e. findable, accessible and understandable (FAIR-criteria). The RDM platform Coscine – Collaborative Scientific Integration Environment—supports you in this and helps you meet the requirements of research funders and comply with Good Research Practice.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on RDM (FDM II – modular). The basics on RDM are covered by the Moodle course “Research Data Management – an Overview (RDM I – online)”. Please use this course as introduction to RDM.
Learn about the RDM platform Coscine with all its features. Understand how Coscine supports you in making research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and in meeting the expectations of research funders.
Metadata Basics and Creating Application Profiles for Coscine
Source: Own illustration
Meaningful and machine-readable metadata are a prerequisite for high-quality and sustainable research data that can be used effectively in line with FAIR principles. Without metadata, research data are worthless. Therefore, meaningful and machine-readable metadata are a prerequisite for high-quality and sustainable research data that can be used effectively. Furthermore, they are a core element of FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
The research data management platform Coscine allows you to annotate research data with metadata that is suitable for your research. Coscine already provides you with basic application profiles for this purpose. In this workshop, you will learn how to extend these profiles or create your own ones with the help of the Metadata Profile Generator in Coscine.

Online Workshop FAIR Data Through Publication
The in-depth module for research data management offers you the opportunity to make your research data visible and reusable. Discuss with the RDM team whether your research data is suitable for this and how your data becomes FAR through publication. Register now for the RDM II module and deepen your knowledge of research data management.
What Can You Expect?
- Motivation for data publication
- Persistent identifiers (DOI, ORCID) and other aspects of FAIR data
- Selection of research data worthy of publication (selection)
- Publication channels and finding a suitable repository
- Preparation of the data in a user-friendly form
- Publication process at RWTH Publications
Key Dates & Registration
The online workshop will take place on September 18, 2024 from 10am to 12 noon. You will receive the access link to the event by email at least three days before the start.
Participation in the RDM II module is intended for doctoral candidates and postdocs at RWTH. Please register via the following links:
BUILD ON DATA Conference Proceedings Published
Source: baureka.online
Last year, we reported on the community conference “Auf Daten bauen // Build on Data” organized by the DFG project baureka.online. The two-day conference, which took place on May 4 and 5, 2023 in Berlin, was aimed at people who deal with historical building fabric, collect digital data on built objects and are interested in effective research data management in historical building research and monument preservation. An open access publication has now been published for the conference in May 2023, which we would like to report on in this article.
RDM Explained – How Metadata Revolutionizes Your Everyday Research Life

Metadata is crucial for the organization and management of research data. It plays a central role in ensuring the traceability and reusability of scientific results by documenting detailed information about the methods, parameters and tools used. Systematic collection and maintenance of metadata from the beginning of a research project is therefore essential to ensure the quality and long-term usability of the data.
Effective Data Sharing With Coscine – Part 3
Source: Coscine
In the second part of the blog series “Effective Data Sharing With Coscine“, we used the Coscine API to create a list of download links to research data in a resource. This list was converted into a structured markup format for better presentation and you learned about various options for displaying certain file types. In the third part, you will now learn how to build on this and create a web page to present your data. We will use the free services of GitHub or optionally GitLab to create and host a static website.

On June 12, 2024, the open meeting of the RDM network at RWTH Aachen University on the topic of “Publication – Open Access and Data Publication” took place online via Zoom again. After the last RDM network meeting, which took place as a face-to-face event at the University Library of RWTH Aachen University, the RDM team of RWTH Data Stewards invited doctoral students, postdocs and those interested in RDM to the virtual open meeting of the RDM.
Asynchronous Tracking and Description of Research Data Changes in Distributed Systems With Interoperable Metadata

In the world of digital research, there are many different ways of storing data. But how can research data be managed in a way that makes it accessible and usable for everyone who should have access to it? In this blog post, we look at how we can tackle this challenge by introducing a method to fill in missing information about the origin of data. This approach is intended to make it easier to find and use research data – in line with the FAIR Principles.
