FAIR Data Principles

  • Introduction to Scientific Visualization

    Scientific Visualization transforms numerical data sets obtained through measurements or computations into graphical representations. Interactive visualization systems allow scientists, engineers, and biomedical researchers to explore and analyze a variety of phenomena in an intuitive and effective way. The course provides an introduction to the principles and techniques of Scientific Visualization. It covers methods corresponding to the visualization of the most common data types, as well as higher-dimensional, so-called multi-field problems. It combines a description of visualization algorithms with a presentation of their practical application. Basic notions of computer graphics and human visual perception are introduced early on for completeness. Simple but very instructive programming assignments offer a hands-on exposure to the most widely used visualization techniques.

    Note that the lectures, demonstration, and tutorial content require a Purdue Credentials,Hydroshare, or CILogon account.

  • Webinar: National Data Service (NDS) Labs Workbench

    The growing size and complexity of high-value scientific datasets are pushing the boundaries of traditional models of data access and discovery. Many large datasets are only accessible through the systems on which they were created or require specialized software or computational resources for re-use. In response to this growing need, the National Data Service (NDS) consortium is developing the Labs Workbench platform, a scalable, web-based system intended to support turn-key deployment of encapsulated data management and analysis tools to support exploratory analysis and development on cloud resources that are physically "near" the data and associated high-performance computing (HPC) systems.  The Labs Workbench may complement existing science gateways by enabling exploratory analysis of data and the ability for users to deploy and share their own tools. The Labs Workbench platform has also been used to support a variety training and workshop environments.

    This webinar includes a demonstration of the Labs Workbench platform and a discussion of several key use cases. A presentation of findings from the recent Workshop on Container Based Analysis Environments for Research Data Access and Computing further highlight compatibilities between science gateways and interactive analysis platforms such as Labs Workbench.

    The FAIR Data Principles are a set of guiding principles in order to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (Wilkinson et al., 2016). Using this tool you will be able to assess the 'FAIRness' of a dataset and determine how to enhance its FAIRness (where applicable).

    This self-assessment tool has been designed predominantly for data librarians and IT staff but could be used by software engineers developing FAIR Data tools and services, and researchers provided they have assistance from research support staff.

    You will be asked questions related to the principles underpinning Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Once you have answered all the questions in each section you will be given a ‘green bar’ indicator based on your answers in that section, and when all sections are completed, an overall 'FAIRness' indicator is provided.

  • Clean your taxonomy data with the taxonomyCleanr R package

    Taxonomic data can be messy and challenging to work with. Incorrect spelling, the use of common names, unaccepted names, and synonyms, contribute to ambiguity in what a taxon actually is. The taxonomyCleanr R package helps you resolve taxonomic data to a taxonomic authority, get accepted names and taxonomic serial numbers, as well as create metadata for your taxa in the Ecological Metadata Language (EML) format.

  • Postgres, EML and R in a data management workflow

    Metadata storage and creation of Ecological Metadata Language (EML) can be a challenge for people and organizations who want to archive their data.

  • Tutorial: DataCite Linking

    This tutorial walks users through the simple process of creating a workflow in the OpenMinTeD platform that allows them to extract links to DataCite (https://www.datacite.org) - mainly citations to datasets - from scientific publications.

  • Florilege, a new database of habitats and phenotypes of food microbe flora

    This tutorial explains how to use the “Habitat-Phenotype Relation Extractor for Microbes” application available from the OpenMinTeD platform. It also explains the scientific issues it addresses, and how the results of the TDM process can be queried and exploited by researchers through the Florilège application.  

    In recent years, developments in molecular technologies have led to an exponential growth of experimental data and publications, many of which are open, however accessible separately. Therefore, it is now crucial for researchers to have bioinformatics infrastructures at their disposal, that propose unified access to both data and related scientific articles. With the right text mining infrastructures and tools, application developers and data managers can rapidly access and process textual data, link them with other data and make the results available for scientists.

    The text-mining process behind Florilege has been set up by INRA using the OpenMinTeD environment. It consists in extracting the relevant information, mostly textual, from scientific literature and databases. Words or word groups are identified and assigned a type, like  “habitat” or “taxon”.

    Sections of the tutorial:
    1. Biological motivation of the Florilege database
    2. Florilège Use-Case on OpenMinTeD (includes a description of how to access the Habitat-Phenotype Relation Extractor for Microbes application)
    3. Florilege backstage: how is it build?
    4. Florilège description
    5. How to use Florilege ?
