==== Metadata memory game ====
'''Read before playing:''' This is a little memory game where players need to '''identify triples''', that is three tiles that belong to one data set. All of them relate to low carbon energy. Some tiles have the form of a picture, others show metadata descriptions (in various formats) and some are even sound files. So, the game is to have fun, while learning about metadata. Try out if you can find all triples. Note if you have opened 3 tiles and they do not match, all will automatically close. Just as you know it from a real-life memory game.

| 11.10-11.15 ||Short Break
* In the energy system the data revolution offers prospects, but we are fare away from harvesting them. The time researchers spent with data governance (finding, cleaning, revising of formats) and bureaucracy exceeds time spent on exciting stuff (thinking, creating new insights, collaborating, and discussing with others) by far.
* There is a lack of joint standards and common metadata formats to support researchers in finding and reusing heterogeneous data. Machine-actionability is also an issue.
* The vision of developing a one-stop-entry point for energy research is clear before our eyes: being able to search for data, access rich metadata, choose & select datasets, crunch data real-time online, being able to link to "My-researcher-space", a platform that offers a personalized workspace for data analysis, paper writing, and research collaboration.

* Goal and vision of EOSC: Enable researchers to access data across domains and disciplines as easy as possible, support locating the relevant data. All European data should be available to researchers, but this does not mean that all data is stored centrally. Instead, databases should be interconnected.
* FAIR maturity evaluations: Close to 100 repositories have been tested using an automated tool. Most of them only score with 0.10 out of 1.

However, FAIR-enabling metadata schema often do not yet exist for many communities and need to be created de novo by the relevant domain experts. In other cases there may be already existing metadata schema but they are difficult to find, assess and reuse. In an effort to support convergence of metadata components, the GO FAIR initiative has launched a systematic and scalable approach to the creation, registration and reuse of machine-actionable metadata called Metadata for Machines (M4M) Workshops. M4M workshops bring together representatives from given scientific communities and FAIR metadata experts to jointly define standards for the metadata that they wish to use in practice. We have found scientists to be highly motivated to develop and use metadata standards through our M4M workshops, and tooling such as the CEDAR Workbench to be effective in the collaborative development of new metadata templates. Thirteen M4M Workshops that have been delivered and in this Session, the most recent workshops (for VODAN Africa, DeiC and ZonMW) will be reviewed. This will be followed by a focused discussion on a proposed M4M workshop for EERA Data Consortium to be run early in 2021.
* ''Use case 1:'' The main issue for us is re-usability. We need to assess the databases that were chosen previously. Learn from best practices.
* ''Use Case 2:'' Our main issue is privacy/ sensitivity of data. Security should come first. There is a tradeoff between universal metadata language and domain-specific language.
The '''agenda''', roughly, is:
* ''Use case 3:'' Linguistics is a problem. As soon as we change the application of the material, we also change related metadata. Find similarities of already existing metadata.
* to use the first hour to recap recent M4M accomplishments (VODAN Africa, DeiC, ZonMW COVID Program), and
* ''Use case 4:'' We face different languages and terminologies. The range of interpretation of the same terms is broad. We should address low hanging fruits but also aim at cracking hard nuts to improve FAIR/O principles.
* to use the second hour to scope plans for an M4M workshop with the EERA Data Consortium
* ''General:'' EERAData is probably more about asking the right questions to the energy research community than providing the right answers. There are already a lot of answers out there, we need to link them to our data issues. We envision being able to suggest low carbon energy metadata standards for and with the research community. Colleagues working on the EERAdata platform will join in on all use case discussions on day 2.

Latest revision as of 13:42, 8 September 2021
The second workshop of EERAdata is organized as an online webinar and hackathon during November and December 2020. It is dedicated to metadata.
Discuss and develop metadata standards for FAIR and open data in the low carbon energy research community. The focus is on the link between metadata and how humans explore data.
Identify gaps and needs that hinder their standardized realization and implementation.
Jointly work on a community paper and/or join the discussions in use cases. We start with a commented and revised draft. Link to draft of the community paper
To prepare for the paper writing hackathon, please participate in the preparatory 'Briefing Workshop' or watch the recorded videos. The workshop took place Thursday, 5th of November, 10-12 CET. The workshop introduced recent work on metadata and outlined the tasks and procedures on how to join the writing team for the community.
Workshop participants are invited to become co-authors of the planned community paper.
How to join the team writing the community paper?
Briefing is provided during the preparatory workshop (also recorded). Includes recommendation for read and watch aheads.
The community paper addresses 3 key questions:
Q1: How to align mental models of those searching for data with navigation along metadata? What is specific to the energy domain?
Q2: What consequences for the construction of domain-specific metadata follow? and how can they be dynamically updated?
Q3: What are the recommendations to the low carbon community?
The envisaged output of the paper is:
A community-reviewed draft for a low carbon energy ontology in support of metadata,
Metadata suggestion cards for low carbon energy researchers,
Suggestions of literature, illustrative cases, metadata perspectives & issues,
Suggestions to any section (e.g., Introduction, Method, Discussion of Results, Outlook)
Adding snippets of texts,
Any other idea is welcome!
Using above prior comments & contributions provided by 23.11.2020, the EERAdata team will revise the draft before the workshop starts. During the workshop, the discussion & writing of the paper continues in small writing teams. A prior registration to teams is therefore recommended. However, teams can change anytime. The EERAdata team is strongly interested in inviting a large group of contributing authors. It is not only in the interest of the community project as such, but it increases the credibility of the main output - the draft (or road towards) a low carbon energy ontology in support of metadata”.
Co-authorship is granted to active participants of the EERAdata workshop as well as to other contributors to the community paper.
Read before playing: This is a little memory game where players need to identify triples, that is three tiles that belong to one data set. All of them relate to low carbon energy. Some tiles have the form of a picture, others show metadata descriptions (in various formats) and some are even sound files. So, the game is to have fun, while learning about metadata. Try out if you can find all triples. Note if you have opened 3 tiles and they do not match, all will automatically close. Just as you know it from a real-life memory game.

The goal of this workshop is to understand how users find, request, use and also provide data. The workshop connects to functional specifications needed for developing the EERAdata platform and other infrastructure in support of data FAIRification work flows. Participants will have the possibility to comment on first mock-ups of the platform and try out some functionalities. For example, using the ontologies produced during UC “EU policy and energy research taxonomies” and participating in virtual discussions on the EERAdata Community Forum.

Art workshop “Collaborative mosaic about FAIR data and Sustainable Development Goals”
9-15
The aim is to create a mosaic which reflects the views of different researchers and data stakeholders on the relevance of FAIR data and the achieving of the Sustainable Development Goals. Participants are ask to contribute their retrospective from the year 2030. The artist Barbara Bellier will connect the individual pieces creating the collaborative mosaic.
M4M Workshops: Making domain-relevant machine-actionable metadata at scale. There is no FAIR data without machine-actionable metadata. Semantically-rich, domain-relevant, machine-actionable metadata is fundamental for FAIR interoperation of data, algorithms and compute resources. However, FAIR-enabling metadata schema often do not yet exist for many communities and need to be created de novo by the relevant domain experts. In other cases there may be already existing metadata schema but they are difficult to find, assess and reuse. In an effort to support convergence of metadata components, the GO FAIR initiative has launched a systematic and scalable approach to the creation, registration and reuse of machine-actionable metadata called Metadata for Machines (M4M) Workshops. M4M workshops bring together representatives from given scientific communities and FAIR metadata experts to jointly define standards for the metadata that they wish to use in practice. We have found scientists to be highly motivated to develop and use metadata standards through our M4M workshops, and tooling such as the CEDAR Workbench to be effective in the collaborative development of new metadata templates. Thirteen M4M Workshops that have been delivered and in this Session, the most recent workshops (for VODAN Africa, DeiC and ZonMW) will be reviewed. This will be followed by a focused discussion on a proposed M4M workshop for EERA Data Consortium to be run early in 2021.
The agenda, roughly, is:
to use the first hour to recap recent M4M accomplishments (VODAN Africa, DeiC, ZonMW COVID Program), and
to use the second hour to scope plans for an M4M workshop with the EERA Data Consortium
