Dear Spokespersons of the Biodata IG Consorstia, I am forwarding you the recent update regarding our finalized Biodata-IG Workshop report. Thanks to the great collaborative effort and feedback from the group, we now have a highly polished document ready for publication! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fphOZXrhU7RjCN33O7cXbSdz4w058PllyLA1a-8… Before we move forward with publishing the report on Zenodo, we would like to request your explicit approval as the spokespersons for our respective consortia (DataPLANT, FAIRagro, NFDI4Biodiversity, NFDI4BIOIMAGE, NFDI4Microbiota, and NFDI4Objects). To ensure the report accurately reflects the strategic and institutional alignment of our network, we would like to list you as co-authors in your official capacity as spokespersons. Could you please reply with a short message to confirm: * Your approval to publish the finalized report on Zenodo. * Your consent to be listed as a co-author (Spokesperson). If you agree, please take a quick moment to check the authorship table in the linked document to ensure your name and details are correct, and please add your ORCID if it is missing. Could you please give us your green light by July 3? Thank you very much for your continuous leadership and support! Warm regards, Mary Begin forwarded message: From: Mary-Ann Ebeling <ebeling(a)ipk-gatersleben.de> Subject: [External] [Biodata-Interest-Group] Finalised Biodata-IG Workshop Report – Authorship Check & Next Steps Date: 25. June 2026 at 11:05:41 GMT+2 To: "biodata-interest-group(a)lists.nfdi.de" <biodata-interest-group(a)lists.nfdi.de> Dear Biodata-IG Members, Thank you all for your constructive input! The workshop report has now been cleaned up. All feedback has been integrated, and your additions and rephrasing suggestions have been accepted: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fphOZXrhU7RjCN33O7cXbSdz4w058PllyLA1a-8… There are just two comments left that are waiting for final feedback. @Christian Schmidt – could you please take a quick look and get back to us on those? Additionally, while all other consortia have given their approval for the Zenodo publication (provided the feedback was integrated), the official approval for NFDI4Microbiota is still missing. @Konrad Förstner – could you please give us the green light on this? A couple of quick administrative updates regarding the current version of the document: * We have removed the links to internal workshop documents. * We also removed the Biodata-IG NFDI logo, as it has not yet been officially approved by the NFDI. Authorship & Action Required: For the final publication, we suggest listing the spokespersons of the consortia alongside the workshop participants as authors. I have added a table in a separate tab within the document listing everyone. Please check this table to ensure your details are correct and add or verify your ORCID if it is still missing. If we do not receive any objections regarding the authorship list or the content of the report by July 3, we will proceed with publishing it on Zenodo accordingly. Thank you again for your continued collaboration and hard work on this! Kind regards, Mary ----------------------------------------- Dr. rer. nat.
