The task given to #NFDI from the federal and state governments: “The NFDI shall set standards in data management.”
Today, 17 experts from all scientific subject areas, took a giant step forward in the workshop “NFDI-RFC Standardisation Concept” at #KIT in Karlsruhe. Here are two of the questions that we discussed:
* How can we use the #RfC standardisation method for NFDI?
* How should NFDI adopt and apply standards in RDM?

Decisions over units have never been easy.

Is a pasty not just a European Commission-endorsed foodstuff, but a much-needed unit of mass? Or is it an ideal way of signifying radial measurements AND a cunning way of preventing inadvertent chafing?

For the confused (and I was as well, the running hashtag is there for a reason)
