Title: The DBpedia Databus: A generic metadata store & Its integration in Data-Workflow

Date: Friday, 16 August 2024, 10:00 CEST

Enhancing data interpretation and interfacing in energy systems analysis are key concepts to make research in the energy domain more FAIR and, thus, more efficient.

Data analysts are faced with heterogeneity of data and an incompatibility of definitions. Referring to ontologies is not only a remedy to those problems, but it is also a precondition for model coupling and semantic analysis of data.

When producing data, their enrichment with metadata, describing them in a standardized way, is a challenge for every researcher. The publication of these metadata on a generic metadata store (e.g. the databus within the open energy family) enhances their findability by other fellows, without alternating the ownership.

A tool to automatize the publication of metadata on a databus, i.e. registration of data, is proposed in this FAIRFriday-Session.

We will introduce the databus service, present some characteristics of the generated data and present the workflow of regimo.

About the speaker: Anis Koubaa got his Engineer Diploma from the Institute of Control Systems at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2006. He is member of HMC since April 2022 and interested in Information Extraction and Knowledge Representation methods.





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.
