The second workshop of EERAdata is organized as an online webinar and hackathon during November, 30, to December, 4th, 2020. It is dedicated to metadata.

Objective

  • 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
Workshop concept of EERAdata

Read & watch aheads

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.

Briefing for EERAdata paper writing workshop (Who? How? When? What?), Valeria Jana Schwanitz, EERAdata PI.
  • Invitation to comment the draft before the writing workshop
  • Suggested read on the history of metadata

Metadata - Shaping Knowledge from Antiquity to the Semantic Web by Richard Gartner

Join us and collaborate interactively!

Becoming a co-author

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,
  • Recommendations on how to proceed.

Invitation to comment the draft before the writing workshop, e.g.:

  • Review of key questions,
  • 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.

Just have fun!

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. Link

Agenda and notes

Builds on read aheads. Online talks and discussions. Space for interaction with participants after each presentation. Moderated discussion of collected comments.

30th Nov. Framing workshop (Part 1): Online hackathon to write a community paper. Link to register:
10.00-10.15 Welcome and introduction to the first draft of the planned paper: “Advancing metadata for low carbon energy research - current state and call for action”, Valeria Jana Schwanitz & August Wierling, HVL.
10.15-10.30 Discussion of the structure, collection of comments and notes
10.30-10.45 Creation of writing teams in break out groups. Preferences are collected beforehand if possible.
10.45-15.00 Work in writing teams (break out groups in zoom). The work-flow, coffee and lunch breaks etc. are organized by the groups themselves.
15.00-16.00 Wrap up day 1 of the framing workshop: Reports from the work done in break out groups, collection of feedback and comments from all. Suggestions of questions to be investigated in use case workshops.
1st Dec. Use case “EU policy and energy research taxonomies” Link to register:
10am-2pm The workshop focuses on metadata, exploring how to link ontologies used for policy-making and those used in research domains. Using the EU policy taxonomy, Art.2 EU Directive 944 (2019), and the inventory of collective action initiatives of the COMETS project as a starting point, common metadata elements and connections between them are identified. The workshop will use the software “GitMind” to design the ontology, incorporating suggestions from workshop participants. The participants will form one of the writing teams for the community paper. Link to zoom meeting: upcoming. Link to workshop page with agenda, notes and results
2nd Dec. Use case “Buildings efficiency” Link to register:
09:00-11:00 (GMT+1) In this session, we will be building on discussions in 1st EERADATA workshop together with the participation of the invited experts, utilizing the experience related to the FAIR assessment in order to: a) Highlight main issues with FAIRness, b) Jointly come up with possible remedies and solutions, and d) Identify pointers to metadata standardization, if and how it can be achieved in Buildings Efficiency domain.

3rd Dec. Use case “Meta data user stories” Link to register:
to be confirmed The goal is to understand how users find, use, and request data. The workshop connects to functional specifications needed for the EERAdata platform and other infrastructure in support of work flows. Participants will have the possibility to comment mock-ups and try out some functionalities. For example, browsing the ontologies produced during UC “EU policy and energy research taxonomies” and the community forum. Link to workshop page with agenda, notes and results Link to zoom meeting: upcoming.
4th Dec. Online art project Link to register:
to be confirmed The goal is to produce a piece of art where energy researchers and stakeholders communicate their perspectives on the need for high quality and FAIR data for Sustainable Development. Link to zoom meeting: upcoming.
4th Dec. EERAdata participates in International FAIR Convergence 2020 Symposium Link to register: upcoming
16-18 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
