Promoting Semantic Annotation of Research Data by Their Creators: A Use Case with B2NOTE at the End of the RDM Workflow

Abstract

Research data management is promoted at different levels with awareness actions carried out to encourage cooperation between researchers. However, data management requires tools to set the scene for researchers and institutions to disseminate the research data they produce. In this context good quality metadata play an important role by enabling data reuse. EUDAT is an European common data infrastructure, with integrated services for data preservation and dissemination. The TAIL project, at the University of Porto, proposes workflows based on Dendro, a collaborative environment that helps researchers prepare well described datasets and deposit them in a data repository. We propose a data deposit workflow use case for a small research project with emphasis in data annotation. Data is organized and described in Dendro; deposited in B2SHARE; and semantic annotation is performed with the new B2NOTE service from EUDAT.

Institutional Support for Data Management Plans: Five Case Studies

“…1 covers important stages of the data lifecycle. The DMPOnline tool 4 is used to create the plans, the LabTablet 5 for data collection, the Dendro platform 6 for data organization and description, and the INESC TEC research data repository 7 [ 10 , 12 ] for data publishing.…”
