Objectives
This hackathon aims to enable participants to develop approaches for generating biodiversity datasets that adhere to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, with a focus on marine biodiversity and metagenomic data within the BIOcean5D project. Participants are encouraged to bring their own datasets (BYOD) and will receive practical hands-on guidance to make their data FAIR-compliant. Specifically, participants will gain practical experience with selecting suitable data models, defining good identifier strategies, applying data standards, controlled vocabularies and ontologies, choosing data licences and identifying appropriate data hosting and sharing repositories. Expected learning outcomes include:
- FAIR-Compliant Marine Biodiversity Datasets: Participants will create or enhance datasets that are better aligned with FAIR principles, whether working on their own data or shared examples. The flexible framework from the Nature paper will help them understand that FAIRification is an ongoing process.
- BYOD Success: Participants who bring their own datasets will leave with improved versions, progressing toward FAIR compliance with the support of expert facilitators and using the Nature paper’s roadmap for incremental improvements.
- Improved FAIR Data Expertise: Attendees will gain practical experience in applying the FAIRification process, learning how to adapt FAIR principles to their own datasets and research workflows.
Staff and facilitators:
- Tony Burdett (EMBL-EBI)
- Stephane Pesant (EMBL-EBI)
- Lynn Delgat (VLIZ)
- Leen Vandepitte (VLIZ)
- Claudia Delgado (UGent/EMBRC-BE)
- others to be confirmed
Prerrequisitos
Audience
This hackathon is intended to prioritise those actively working to share data in the BIOcean5D project and TREC, especially data stewards or data managers, research software engineers and bioinformaticians or early career scientists who are generating data in BIOcean5D and have an interest in research data management (RDM)
Pre-requisites:
- You should be working with or producing data in the context of BIOcean5D or TREC
- You should be familiar with BIOcean5D or TREC data and metadata, as well as the software you use for managing it (may include Excel, Jupyter notebooks, others)
- You should have a good awareness of FAIR data principles
Note: participants will be selected considering the above criteria, including group gender and roles balance. Priority will be given to participants from the BIOcean5D Project.
