All tools and services provided by the INF project aim to fulfil the FAIR principles for modern digital research data management and to support researchers at all stages of the data life cycle.
FAIR Data Principles
Data management services and tools, as developed by INF, aim at a convenient search and retrieval (findable) of data under a sophisticated user rights management (accessible) in CAMPOS via metadata. The provision of long-term archiving and publication functionalities for research data covers important aspects of data reusability.
Data interoperability depends, among other things, heavily on the support of data exchange formats and compliance with accepted technical standards. Here, INF actively seeks cooperations with other organizations outside of CAMPOS.
Research Data Lifecycle
The complete data life cycle, spanning from data acquisition over the various stages of computation, data analysis, visualization to long-term archiving and publication must be covered to achieve appropriate quality standards and reproducibility of modern research. As developed by INF, a central platform for services and data storage is necessary for an appropriate management of all life cycle tasks and aspects, benefiting all participating CAMPOS researchers.
