RSpace (ResearchSpace)Thanks to everyone contributing to our 8th RSpace open-source office hour. 🎙️
Our guests Titusz Pan and Martin Etzrodt (@ISCC Foundation) walked us through the ISCC ISO-standard for fingerprinting and identifying content. Rather than first registering an ID with an authority, you compute a fingerprint straight from the content itself, so you can find an asset and its provenance again even after metadata is stripped. It is already applied in bioimaging as part of the the BioCode project with Leiden University.
On our side, we shared progress on an RSpace initiative to give research instruments persistent identifiers. The interesting part was discussing where the two could meet, for example signing data right at the microscope, and how together they build trust in research data in the age of AI. We also shared the latest from the RSpace project, including a new community templates resource.
