Bossert<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The poster presentation &#8216;Resilient Technologies&#8217; is part of Dr Lukas C. Bossert&#8217;s work in the field of research data management (RDM), including in the context of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkz2r.de\/\">Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy<\/a> (DKZ.2R). The presentation starts with the question of which tools have proven to be reliable, open and sustainable over decades, and how these classic technologies, which are often underestimated, form a stable foundation for modern RDM. The approach is to identify tools and methods that are resilient in the sense of ROOT: Robust, Open, Ongoing and Time-tested (see image).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\"><strong>Brief Description of the Poster for the TdF<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Entitled &#8220;Resilient Technologies: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.17157587\">Why Decades-Old Tools Define the ROOT of Modern Research Data Management<\/a>,&#8221; the poster shows that proven Unix tools such as grep, sed, awk, make, tar, rsync, curl, Emacs\/Org-Mode, and LaTeX are still essential for reproducible and sustainable research processes. (*)<\/p>\n<p>Using a practical example \u2014 working with a real dataset from the NFDI \u2014 the poster illustrates the entire life cycle of research data (from download to cleansing to archiving) with the help of these tools.<\/p>\n<p>This contribution was created entirely in the spirit of literate programming, meaning the poster generates itself from the underlying Org mode code.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\"><strong>Order the Poster With the Slogan \u201cFAIR Data \u2013 FAIR Play: Just a Matter of Line-up&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The &#8220;Resilient Technologies&#8221; poster emphasizes that FAIR data management does not require new software. Instead, it can be based on open, interoperable, and transparent tools that have proven reliable for decades. The presented tools are &#8220;FAIR by design&#8221;: open, documentable, reproducible, and independent of proprietary platforms. They thus symbolize a sustainable and fair &#8220;lineup&#8221; in research.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itc.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/it-center\/it-center\/profil\/team\/~epvp\/mitarbeiter-campus-\/?allou=1&amp;gguid=PER-9ETM29N&amp;lidx=1\">Dr. Lukas C.
