On March 20, 2023, Coscine<\/a> was presented as part of the NFDI ToolTalk series. As previously announced in the NFDI Talks blog post<\/a>, here is the post-event report on the digital event. What the contents of the presentation were, we have summarized for you in this post.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The NFDI hosts regular Talks in which experts from various disciplines present exciting topics in research data management (RDM). The current ToolTalk focused on Coscine.<\/p>\n Coscine offers many good reasons to use it. To understand the motivation behind its use as well as development, two sides need to be illuminated. When users are asked about their motivators for using Coscine, they often cite three factors:<\/p>\n From the perspective of the university and the NFDI, the main reason for developing Coscine is to meet the requirements for the RDM, especially with regard to the management of metadata. Examples of such requirements are the requirements of the NRW Higher Education Act to ensure good scientific practice (NRW HG \u00a7 3 para. 1).<\/p>\n Researchers often have difficulties in taking FAIR principles into account when dealing with research data. In most cases, only the data of a project that play a role in publication are treated accordingly FAIR. This leads to valuable (metadata) information being lost. To help researchers implement FAIR principles when handling research data, we have developed Coscine as a solution. This provides a data storage and linking environment that automatically implements FAIR principles for any data source.<\/p>\n Coscine offers different resource types. Among them are three RDS variants such as RDS-Web, RDS-WORM and RDS-S3. Other resource types include Linked Data and GitLab, which can be used to link externally stored research data and code.<\/p>\n In addition to the presentation of Coscine, the ToolTalk also included a demonstration. Participants were thus guided step by step through the platform for RDM. Did you miss the demonstration? The entire talk was recorded and can be viewed on YouTube. The Coscine demonstration starts at minute 10:10 and ends at 23:05.<\/p>\nWhat is the motivation behind Coscine?<\/span><\/h3>\n
