NFDI4Chem: the federated repositories

Within the framework of the German NFDI initiative and in particular the NFDI4Chem consortium, Task 3 (Repositories) aims to establish a federation of repositories for the collection, storage, processing, analysis, publication and re-use of research data as part of its infrastructure. The federation will be realised through the implementation of metadata and application programming interface (API) standards as well as vocabularies and ontologies addressed within the consortium. In order to identify those repositories that could form the nucleus of the envisaged virtual federation, the TA3 team developed a list of selection criteria. A number of relevant repositories were identified. Although some of them do not yet meet all the criteria required for integration into the NFDI4Chem service platform, they already play an important role in the chemistry research community and have committed to work towards the standards set by the consortium. Task Area 3 will support other databases and data repositories on interoperability issues and encourage them to participate in the development of NFDI4Chem standards and interfaces. With the aim of both identifying gaps in coverage in terms of data types or disciplines and addressing these through adaptation or, where necessary, new development, the TA3 team carried out a gap analysis of existing relevant repositories through individual interviews with repository leaders. The interview consisted of a series of questions ranging from general information to metadata standards and ontology, data content, technical information about the Authorisation and Authentication Infrastructure (AAI), API, services and functionality, operating environment, software architecture and workflows. The interviews were used to determine the current maturity and operational readiness of the selected repositories and to derive appropriate recommendations to address missing requirements. Future activities will focus on community needs to avoid the development of undesired functionalities. The poster presented at IDW 2023 will highlight the main characteristics and features of the repositories relevant to the chemistry community that have been selected to implement the NFDI4Chem federation.

Bye Salzburg, it’s been real!
Had a really interesting time at #idw2023 #idwsalzburg2023 #rda #rdaplenary21 (aka the event with the most hash tags ever). Hoping I get to continue to engage with the RDM community - such an important network from a #digipres point of view.
Thanks to everyone for the great conversations and presentations.

The CoreTrustSeal "Curation & Preservation Levels: CoreTrustSeal Discussion Paper" is still avail for further community feedback. i need to put this on my reading list again!

did you know there's an RDA CoreTrustSeal Maitenance Working Group? Neither did I! Just signed up for it. If you'd like to follow along what they are doing and/or actively contribute, more info and the possibility to join the WG can be found here:
https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/coretrustseal-maintenance-wg

CoreTrustSeal Maintenance WG

The CoreTrustSeal Maintenance Group is the successor to and maintains the outputs of the Repository Audit and Certification DSA–WDS Partnership WG that resulted in the 16 CoreTrustSeal Requirements. The CoreTrustSeal Maintenance Group seeks and encourages the widest possible input into the process of maintaining and revising the requirements, which takes place every three years. The goal of the CoreTrustSeal is to maintain alignment with current practices while offering a low-barrier-to-entry ‘core’ level of certification that is broadly applicable to repositories that offer active preservation and meet the agreed criteria with their organisation infrastructure, digital object management, technology and security practices.

Donaldson compared overall compliance scores (sum of all criteria scores) for re-certified repositories across their different certifications. Numbers showed that the majority of certified repositories have either slightly improved or stayed the same re score.
