Entwicklung von Workflowkomponenten für die Langzeitarchivierung von Forschungsdaten in den Geowissenschaften

Development of Workflow Components for the Long-Term Archiving of Research Data in the Geosciences

This project, funded by the DFG from 2011-2014, aimed at supporting the transfer of research data from different research environments to long-term digital archives. Its focus was the optimization of the ingest process at the transfer interface between the discipline-specific data producer and any long-term archive.

In geosciences, workflows and infrastructures for research data management are already comparatively well developed - nevertheless, there are gaps in the data flow between the various stages in the "Digital Curation Continuum". The first project phase served to identify existing gaps and to network with similar projects in Germany through more than 20 expert interviews with infrastructure facilities and data centres.

In the second phase questions concerning the technical quality assurance of research data and workflows in a long-term archive were dealt with. On the other hand institutional policies for research data management have been developed which can be used as templates for different geoscientific institutions. In addition courses for teaching and advanced training have been designed and tested in university education to establish the topic of research data management more firmly in the scientific discipline.
