Full-day workshop: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, Thursday, September 13th, 2018
Organizers
- Ângela Lomba, Senior Researcher at CIBIO-InBIO, University of Porto, Portugal
- João Aguiar Castro, PhD student, INESC TEC, University of Porto, Portugal
Outline
An informal arena for researchers to benefit from and share experience with domain experts, dealing with research data management practical issues, including a zoom-in on some open-source tools. The workshop include a hands-on event, where participants will capture metadata in field with the Labtablet application, and then synchronize it with the Dendro platform.
Background
Open Science is a currently a hot topic and focus of several initiatives such as the Research Data Alliance (RDA), a community-driven organization supported by the European Commission, the United States National Science Foundation and National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Australian Government. RDA aims to build social and technical infrastructures for research data management and to promote data curation and data sharing. In the context of the Tail project, University of Porto, tools are being developed to support researchers in data management activities, namely the Dendro data organization platform and the LabTablet to capture infield and laboratory data and metadata.
Target group
The workshop targets all RDM community, namely researchers, data curators, developers, interested in sharing perspectives in effective data management.
