Background and Motivation
Controlled vocabularies and ontologies are essential for enabling data interoperability, discovery, and integration across domains. Repositories that host and expose these artifacts play a critical role in implementing the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. The OntoPortal Alliance, a collaboration of academic and commercial partners,...
Solid Earth science seeks to understand the complex chemical and physical processes shaping our planet. This knowledge is essential for addressing key societal challenges, from mitigating natural hazards to managing vital resources. Yet, the scale and nature of the data required for such research—spanning petabytes and crossing geographical, disciplinary, and temporal boundaries—necessitate a...
The increasing use of AI-based approaches such as machine learning (ML) across diverse scientific fields presents challenges for reproducibly disseminating and assessing research. As ML becomes increasingly integral to clinical applications, there is also a critical need for transparent reporting methods to ensure both comprehensibility and the reproducibility of pre-clinical research and...
Conducting high-quality research increasingly involves complex workflows and the generation of numerous intermediate datasets. Achieving reproducibility requires the availability of extensive and well-structured information. To enable this, researchers need interfaces and tools that are not only user-friendly but also FAIR-aware.
Data analysis workflows typically span multiple tools and...
- Introduction and Background
Recent policies and laws in the US that threaten data access have highlighted the need for infrastructure to ensure important government data is not lost during regime changes. US federal government information has been in the public domain since the 1895 Printing Act which prohibited any copyright on federal government publications (United States Congress,...
KU Leuven RDR is the CoreTrustSeal certified institutional data repository of KU Leuven, where curation plays an important role in data FAIRification and ensuring the quality of published datasets. The curation phase is not only crucial to have some quality control on the FAIRness of the data by ensuring correct metadata input, the presence of documentation and a choice of license, but to also...
