Customizable interaction with material science research data – AimData

In the material sciences, a broad spectrum of different experiments generates a large amount of research data. Experimental research data, including metadata, are nowadays often stored decentrally by the researchers who carry out the experiments, without
generally accepted standards for the storage of data. The experiments carried out are often associated with substantial investments by public funding agencies who wish to make the results available in order to increase their effectiveness. In order to meet this
demand, citable and openly accessible experimental research data will be required in the future. The aim of the project is to transform the previously decentralized and heterogeneously organized data management into a powerful, centrally organized data infrastructure in order to make scientific research data available to the research community on a long-term and sustainable basis. For this purpose, a first system was developed in the predecessor project Infosys and made available to the pilot Uuer Institut für Werkstofftechnik for test data on metallic materials. Several institutes of the University of Bremen: Faserinstitut Bremen e. V. (FIBRE), Institute for Integrated Product Development (BIK), Institute for Materials Technology (IWT), Technologie-Zentrum Informatik (TZI) and the Official Materials Testing Institute of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (MPA) are participating in the current project….read more
