FAIR Friday with Andreas Schreiber
HMC FAIR Friday
Speaker: Andreas Schreiber, German Aerospace Center (DLR)
Title: The origin of data: Relevance of provenance in the context of FAIR
Date: Friday, 20 September 2024, 1 pm CEST
Provenance serves as the backbone of the FAIR principles by ensuring transparency, traceability, and trustworthiness. It provides the information necessary to understand, trust, and effectively use data, making it truly FAIR. Without proper provenance, data would lack the contextual information needed to realize the full potential of the FAIR Principles.
The talk will introduce provenance concepts, explain FAIR principles, and link the two to show how provenance supports the realization of FAIR data.
We are very pleased to be able to embed this HMC FAIR Friday event this time as a satellite event within the Helmholtz Summer School, which will take place from 16 to 27 September 2024 under the motto ‘From Data to Knowledge’. All workshops will take place online and participation is free of charge. You can find detailed information here.
About the speaker: Andreas Schreiber is head of the Department for Intelligent and Distributed Systems at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), located in Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremen, Cologne, and Oberpfaffenhofen (near Munich). He studied industrial mathematics at Clausthal University of Technology and worked in the German Armed Forces and at Argonne National Laboratory. His research fields include complex systems, provenance, trustworthy and explainable AI, graph visualization, software visualization, and software analytics. His mission is to combine these fields to creative cutting-edge software systems to solve challenging tasks in aeronautics and space research. Since more than 20 years, Andreas does research related to provenance for improving explainability, traceability, and trust of distributed systems and intelligent AI-based software; with a focus on visualisazion and visual analytics of provenance. He is also an Open Source and Open Science advocate at DLR. Andreas actively uses Python since 1992, is (former) chair of PyCon DE, and organized events for Python, such as the workshop series Python for High-Performance and Scientific Computing (PyHPC) or PyData Cologne. He co-founded Medando, a startup that develops mobile health apps for Android that support personalized medicine, independent living, and self-tracking (Quantified Self).

To stimulate and support interdisciplinary exchange, the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) in close cooperation with the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA) is organizing the HMC FAIR Friday lecture series. It is aimed at experienced actors in research data management as well as scientists from all research fields of the Helmholtz Association and beyond.
HMC FAIR Friday features talks by high-ranking national and international speakers to bring all participants (even) closer to the world of FAIR data, deepen individual aspects and stimulate discussions.
