Dear colleagues interested in #metadata and #laboratory workflows,

our project “Semantic x-Lab” wants to interlink information from different lab-internal systems such as instrument 🔬 and method databases and #ElectronicLabNotebooks, and external sources such as publication #repositories and #Wikidata, in #KnowledgeGraph|s. 🕸️ Our aim is to integrate metadata from previously isolated systems and find new connections in experiments across research centers. 🏛️

We invite you to join us at this year’s #HMCConference2026 - Metadata in Action, where we will be hosting an extended workshop. We are going to present our use cases and first project results. But we would also like to hear your thoughts!

See you on 28th of April at #DKFZ #Heidelberg! #HMC2026 @helmholtz_hmc

HMC Conference 2026

HMC Conference 2026 – Metadata in Action How does better metadata drive better science? The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) Conference 2026, held 28–30 April 2026 in Heidelberg, invites you to explore how metadata creates scientific impact across disciplines and infrastructures. Under the theme “Metadata in Action,” this conference is where diverse perspectives meet. Infrastructure providers, data stewards, researchers, and centre operators come together to exchange ideas, showcase...

GEOMAR CEM (Indico)

What we would like to hear from you:

How do you imagine interaction with such a system? How to query it? How to ingest and expose data? How do we communicate the advantages of knowledge graphs to potential users? And how to integrate it effectively into third-party systems? ❓
