Happy Halloween! Have you ever heard of “tombstones”? We have put together a special and mystical article for you to mark the spooky holiday of the year. The digital world offers us enormous opportunities, but what happens when research data is deleted? Is it lost forever? This is where the idea of “tombstones” comes into play – an elegant solution to make the disappearance of research data more transparent.
Into the Data Garden!

Let your research bloom! On the second Tuesday in November, the fourth “Research Data Day” will take place in North Rhine-Westphalia – a state-wide day of action on research data management. On November 12, 2024, everything will revolve around a blooming “data garden” in which Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University invite all researchers and those interested in RDM to Jülich for networking!
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.

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.
This event is part of a series of in-depth modules on research data management (FDM 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)“.

Not long now – stewards, data experts, data curators and anyone interested in the topic of RDM will be meeting in Aachen for the third Data Stewardship goes Germany Workshop 2024. The focus will be on the participants themselves and their networks in the field of data stewardship. However, not only the two-day workshop, but also the two additional training courses as part of Data Stewardship goes Germany (DSgG) invite you to spend the late summer in Aachen. Details on the satellite events and registration can be found 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.
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.
