Call for Contributions
Today, research data is often stored in many different places, difficult to find and only
available for a limited time. The NFDI aims towards better findability, accessibility and
reusability of research data. Base4NFDI integrates and establishes basic services as
common, interoperable solutions. Already existing services are adapted or extended to be
usable for researchers from other disciplines. This way, parallel developments are avoided
- since many scientific fields have similar requirements for a number of research data
management services.
The Base4NFDI User Conference is set up to become the focal point in the development of
Basic Services in NFDI. It is used to present, discuss and operationalize current
developments in the Basic Services funded via Base4NFDI as well as potential future Basic
Services. The User conference programme welcomes participation from the NFDI community and
beyond.
Members from sections and its working groups, consortia, Basic Services and beyond are
invited to contribute to the discussion and participate in the event, with the long term
goal of collaboratively shaping the service offering Base4NFDI can provide to both NFDI
and the wider RDM landscape.
For that reason we ask to submit abstracts to demonstrate activities around Base4NFDI
services.
Possible topics for abstracts:
1. Contributions from the sections and its working groups to come up with Basic Service
candidates (e.g. How could potential future Basic Services look like?)
2. Basic Services, Basic Service incubators and networking activities (e.g. How are
existing Basic Services developing in Initialisation and Integration stages? How can
interoperability of Basic Services be ensured?)
3. Contributions of the consortia to the (integration of) Basic Services – as well as
other topics related to Base4NFDI (e.g. How can Basic Services be expected to be adopted
by the NFDI community, and beyond?)
4. Birds-eye view on the process phases in Base4NFDI (e.g. How could user involvement
be shaped within Basic Service development?)
Formalities:
We request abstracts of a maximum of 500 words. Please use the template linked at the
event page for submission. Please submit the abstract here by May 15, 2024:
https://events.gwdg.de/event/658/abstracts/
The review will be done in collaboration with the NFDI sections, the Base4NFDI Basic
Services teams and the Base4NFDI staff, the decision will be made by the program chairs.
Accepted abstracts will either get a slot for
* a short talk in the main program or
* a lightning talk in the main program and a poster in the poster session.
At least one person from each submission is expected to attend the conference. Virtual
participation is not possible.
Abstracts and slides/posters will be published on Zenodo after the conference. Accepted
abstracts may be revised before publication.
