Related Consortia

Duration

6 months somewhere in the future. The next incubator cycle will start in Q3/2025.

Description

Have you considered one or more of the possible goals listed below? However, you may not have the resources or expertise to make it happen. Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI) can provide the assistance you need to bring your use case to life.

We offer incubator projects to interested parties to support them in the interaction, integration or handling of terminology services. TS4NFDI will offer at least two incubator cycles per year. These cycles will be user-driven and will include requirements analysis, service integration, testing and user feedback. Each cycle is expected to span six months, during which TS4NFDI will allocate resources (e.g. developer capacity) to support your specific use case.

Possible Goals

• Hosting of terminologies
• Setup a terminology service
• Adding terminology services to the API Gateway
• Integration of TSS widgets
• Provision of collection(s) via API Gateway

WDCC - World Data Center for Climate

Status

Duration

From 26.02.2025 To ~

Description

The WDCC has the mission to archive, disseminate and publish Earth System model data and related data products to support the international climate research community. The WDCC is a discipline specific repository providing active preservation for research only. Therefore WDCC is using common metadata standards and is recommending the usage of community data standards like the Climate Forecast (CF) Conventions. The WDCC is certified by Core Trust Seal (CTS) and an accredited regular member of the World Data System. WDCC is following the FAIR principles - all metadata is openly accessible, the access to the data is free of charge. The WDCC is hosted by the German Climate Computing Center (Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum - DKRZ) in Hamburg.

nmrXiv

Status

Duration

From ~ To ~

Description

While several attempts have been made recently to create NMR databases from literature, they fall short of meeting the needs of modern chemical and related scientific communities. nmrXiv is the first open archive to preserve NMR data in its original instrument format, while offering tools for their analysis and promoting open data and standards for long-term sustainability and accessibility. nmrXiv revolutionizes NMR data management and archival by providing an open-access, standardized, and user-friendly platform. Our platform is public and interoperable to ensure that NMR data is freely accessible, transparent, and reproducible. We support standardized data formats to enhance consistency and facilitate data comparison and integration.

ChEBI - Chemical Entities of Biological Interest

Status

Duration

From 10.02.2025 To ~

Description

Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is a freely available dictionary of molecular entities focused on ‘small’ chemical compounds. The term ‘molecular entity’ refers to any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex, conformer, etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity. The molecular entities in question are either products of nature or synthetic products used to intervene in the processes of living organisms. ChEBI incorporates an ontological classification, whereby the relationships between molecular entities or classes of entities and their parents and/or children are specified.

Coconut

Status

Duration

From ~ To ~

Description

A comprehensive platform facilitating natural product research by providing data, tools, and services for deposition, curation, and reuse. It aims to provide researchers, scientists, and enthusiasts with comprehensive and easily accessible data on a wide variety of natural compounds. The database includes detailed information on the chemical structures, literature references and sources of these compounds, facilitating research and discovery in natural products.

NFDI4Cat Central Data Repository (Repo4Cat)

Status

Duration

From 12.02.2025 To 13.08.2025

Description

NFDI4Cat is a community-driven and user-oriented initiative to secure the digital future of catalysis. NFDI4Cat has set up a data repository “Repo4Cat” based on the Dataverse platform (https://repository.nfdi4cat.org/). Due to the lack of catalysis-specific vocabularies and ontologies, NFDI4Cat has also created a community-managed SKOS vocabulary “Voc4Cat” (https://nfdi4cat.github.io/voc4cat/) to provide machine readable term definitions to be used for data annotation and in metadata schemas. Together with TS4NFDI NFDI4Cat wants to provide a better vocabulary browsing and search experience by serving Voc4Cat via SKOSMOS, a terminology browsing tool specifically optimized for SKOS vocabularies. Moreover, we want to integrate Voc4Cat annotation-widgets in the Repo4Cat data sharing platform in order to improve the metadata entry and interoperability.

BERD Terminology Service

Status

Duration

From 29.05.2024 To 19.11.2024

Description

BERD@NFDI is dedicated to establishing a research data infrastructure transforming the management of Business, Economic, and Related Data. Our mission is to empower researchers of the social sciences with the tools and services needed to harness the full potential of unstructured data, such as images, videos, audio, and text files. BERD Terminology Service provides a single point of access to terminologies and ontologies from Business, Economics and Related fields.

Terminology service for Plasma-MDS

Status

Duration

From ~ To 19.11.2024

Description

The plasma ontology (Plasma-O) is a domain-specific ontology for low-temperature plasma science and technology. It aims to support the standardized documentation and annotation of data and information in this field. The ontology contains classes and properties for the entities which are relevant in typical plasma studies, such as plasma generating devices, media, materials and diagnostic methods.

preVIEW

Status

Duration

From ~ To ~

Description

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid availability of profound information is crucial in order to derive information about diagnosis, disease trajectory, treatment or to adapt the rules of conduct in public. The increased importance of preprints for COVID-19 research initiated the design of the preprint search engine preVIEW. Conceptually, it is a lightweight semantic search engine focusing on easy inclusion of specialized COVID-19 textual collections and provides a user friendly web interface for semantic information retrieval. In order to support semantic search functionality, we integrated a text mining workflow for indexing with relevant terminologies. Currently, diseases, human genes and SARS-CoV-2 proteins are annotated, and more will be added in future. The system integrates collections from several different preprint servers that are used in the biomedical domain to publish non-peer-reviewed work, thereby enabling one central access point for the users. In addition, our service offers facet searching, export functionality and an API access.

Metadata Annotation Workbench

Status

Duration

From ~ To ~

Description

The Metadata Annotation Workbench is developed in the NFDI4Health project. The service aims to assist researchers with semantic annotation of data dictionaries, questionnaires or other data collection instruments.
