we are happy to invite you to the
EERAdata online workshop & hackathon, June 2-4, 2020. Together, we will explore "
FAIR principles and METADATA for low carbon energy". The workshop is structured in plenary sessions with lectures and discussions and break out groups to work on four different use cases. A detailed agenda is available
EERAdata WIKI, but its skeleton is the following:
10.00-10.20 Welcome and introduction "EERAdata - Towards Utopia for low carbon energy research”, Valeria Jana (HVL, Norway)
10.20-14.00 Online lectures on FAIR/O principles & meta
- “The EOSC-Nordic: machine-actionable FAIR Maturity evaluations and the FAIRification of data repositories” - Andreas Jaunsen, Nordforsk & EOSC-Nordic.
- “OpenAIRE: Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe”, Ilaria Fava, OpenAIRE.
Short break of 15 min -
- “Community-driven metadata and ontologies for Materials Science and their key role in artificial-intelligence tools”, Luca Ghiringhelli, FHI Berlin.
- “Metadata practices from IRP Wind”, Anna Maria Sempreviva, DTU. (The presentation title will be updated).
Break 12.15-13.00 - Game “Utopia and metadata”. Or any time.
13.00-14.00 Online lectures:
- “Humanities and data: for a community-driven path towards FAIRness”, Elena Giglia, UNITO.
- “RISIS - An e-Infrastructure for the STI-Policy research community”, Thomas Scherngell, AIT.
Break 14.00-14.30 - Game “Utopia and metadata”. Or any time.
14.30-16.00 Discussion to compile a to-do list for work in use cases on the second day. Serves as a guiding and aligning process. Lead by WP2, August Wierling/Valeria, HVL.
June, 3, 10-17:
Working on use cases, filling project WIKI & collecting stories for the EERAdata storyboard:
1. Buildings efficiency
2. Power transmission & distribution networks
3. Material solutions for low carbon energy
4. Low carbon energy & energy efficiency policies
10-12 Discuss and update the preliminary state of FAIR/O for the use case. Use the prepared draft of databases to check compliance with FAIR principles (tools: WP3 questionnaire and others). Observe and discuss agreements and differences across the evaluation tools. Generate the overall picture for FAIR/O compliance for the use case to pin down the state of art. Select 3-5 databases per use case to deep-dive into metadata discussions.
13-15 Evaluate metadata provided for the selected databases: What is the current description of metadata? How extensive are they? Is only administrative information provided? Or richer context description? What frameworks for metadata are used: taxonomy? thesaurus? ontology? How is the metadata information technically implemented: plain text file? xml ? rdf? ...
Identify use case-specific issues with metadata - What are the gaps? What is perceived as a hard nut to crack? Pay special attention to metadata of the databases and fill out table provided WP2. Continuously make notes to report results next day! Select a responsible person!
15-17 Joint recording of lessons learned. Create and/or update the WIKI for the use case with literature, gaps, best practices, FAIR/O discussion, metadata discussion, suggested next steps, .... Get your head around what to report next day! Plan for 20 min.
June, 4, 10-17:
10.00-12.30 Reports from use case experiences, wrap up for follow-up metadata workshop (in ca. ~6 months)
13.30-15.00 Online lectures on Data Management Plans:
- Presentation “Introduction to DMP and best practices” by Trond Kvamme, NSD
- Presentation on machine-actionable DMPs by Tomasz Miksa, TU Vienna
- Discussion of EERAdata DMP draft (August, HVL)
Short break of 15 min
15.15-16.00 Wrap up of workshop with feedback from invited experts.
Workshop features: EERAdata game, EERAdata storyboard, project WIKI. For links see the agenda and/or workshop documents accessible from Day 1.
In addition to the EERAdata consortium of about 50 people, we welcome guests to join lectures and/or the 2n-day hackathon! Please register yourselves using the following link. Note, we also ask you to express your interest in one of the use cases. This is for preparatory purposes and can be changed later if you want.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Registration link: https://hvl.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50qdOypqzMvHdFERit7Byxf6G6-m75cZ6AuThe workshop sessions will be recorded for project internal purposes and possible later online publication. At the beginning of the workshop, we will ask you to agree to this policy. If you do not agree, you can still participate but you need to mute your microphone and you cannot share your screen or video. Presenters of the workshop will be separately asked to express their agreement to this policy (or not).
