EERAdata Workshop 1

The first workshop of EERAdata is organized as an online webinar and hackathon from June, 2-4, 2020.

Objective

• Learn about FAIR and open data practices in the energy and other research communities;
• Choose selected databases to be investigated in use cases. Discuss and summarize the reasons for selection.
• Analyze the state of FAIR/O principles for the selected database (with the help of the questionnaire and FAIR/O assessment tools).
• Evaluate the state of FAIR/O principles for the metadata of selected databases.
• Suggest general principles for the design of metadata (use-case- and domain-specific),
• Discuss top-level metadata adhering to FAIR/O principles (use-case- and domain-specific),
• Learn about the FAIRification of Data Management Plans (DMP).
