NFDI4DS Hackathons at ZB Med 2025

Hackathons offer a space to create and develop ideas in a fast-paced collaborative environment during a couple of days. As part of the NFDI4DS project, ZB MED organizes hackathons around subjects related to metadata for research artifacts.

DiscoRSE/NFDI4DS/Quadriga Hackathon - Metadata with Schema.org for Training Materials

When: 2025.06.23-25, from noon to noon

Where: ZB MED Cologne

What:

Day 1 (half day, starting around 13:00)

• Introductions including information on the corresponding training platform and metadata approach in use.
• Finding common grounds across the different platforms and metadata approaches (and possible alignment to FAIR and beyond –e.g., reproducibility, transparency, sustainability)

Day 2 (full day)

• Continuation - Finding common grounds across the different platforms and metadata approaches (and possible alignment to FAIR and beyond –e.g., reproducibility, transparency, sustainability)

• Creating a metadata schema, based on schema.org, for the common core across training platforms. We will use a crosswalk template for this. We intend to publish all crosswalks as a deposition in Zenodo with all participants as co-authors. We aim at presenting these results to NFDI community.

• (Optional) Discussion/work on other topics of interest brought by the participants

Day3 (half day, finishing around 12:00)

• Writing a final report to be deposited in Zenodo.
• Discussion on how to continue with the effort.
