In practice, scientific data management comprises many different tasks and workflows that are typically accompanied by software in varying degrees. It is a common issue to find the right balance between standardization and flexibility, automation and interactivity, complexity and comprehensibility.
CaosDB is an Open Source (AGPLv3) research data management system (RDMS) that combines multiple data management concepts and practical tools for efficiently integrating daily research data management into scientific workflows. Especially noteworthy are the flexible semantic data model, the intuitive semantic query language CQL and the file crawler framework for automatic data integration.
In this talk the software and the central concepts will be discussed presenting use cases from daily scientific research. A practical introduction to the graphical user interface, the query language, the API and the crawler framework will be given to demonstrate how these concepts can facilitate data management and provide a deeper insight into complex and heterogeneous research data.
