Topics:

• Beyond Keywords: What problems are we really trying to solve with semantic models in RDM that cannot be adequately addressed by traditional metadata schemes? (e.g., ambiguity, lack of context, difficulty in integration across datasets)
• Types of Semantic Models: What are the most relevant types of semantic models for RDM (e.g., ontologies, controlled vocabularies, knowledge graphs, taxonomies)? When is each most appropriate, and what are their respective strengths and weaknesses in a RDM context?
• User Adoption and Engagement: What are the biggest hurdles to widespread adoption of semantic technologies by researchers? How can we demonstrate the value proposition and reduce the learning curve?
• AI and Machine Learning: How will advancements in AI and machine learning (e.g., natural language processing, automated knowledge graph construction) impact the creation and application of semantic models in RDM?
• The “Holy Grail”: Towards a Global Knowledge Graph for Research? Is a truly integrated, global knowledge graph for research data an achievable vision, or a utopian dream? What steps are crucial to move closer to this ideal?

Life Sciences (Location tbd)

WORKSHOP: Workshop on Synergies in Life Sciences – Joint strategies and services for national and European collaboration between NFDI consortia

Description:

Of the 26 NFDI consortia, eight are affiliated with the life sciences and are already advancing the concept of oneNFDI through collaboration within various thematic clusters. To further strengthen and expand these efforts, this workshop will feature brief lightening talks highlighting past and ongoing initiatives, and will serve as a forum for the structured development of action lines at both the national and European levels. The following topics will be discussed:

• What are the key challenges for integrated and interdisciplinary research in the life sciences?
• How can engagement within the designated research communities be strengthened?
• Where are the overlaps in services, infrastructures or standards?
• Which topics are suitable for coordinated activities or joint offerings?
• How can the visibility of our NFDI services be increased on different levels – e.g. to-wards scientific communities and at local institutions in European initiatives (ELIXIR, ESOC) or political stakeholders?
• How can funding bodies be engaged to support consolidation and standardisation in the field by clearly communicating current challenges and ensuring they are reflected in future funding programs?

The workshop is aimed at representatives from all life science disciplines who wish to contribute to the discussion on possible synergies and cross-cutting collaborations.

Led by: Christian Busse, Barbara Ebert, Frank Ewert, Juliane Fluck, Konrad U. Förstner, Oliver Kohlbacher, Björn Usadel and Stefanie Weidtkamp-Peters.

Including: Marcus Schmidt, Birte Lindstädt, Judith Engel and Klaus Getzlaff
