From sample management to workflow integration: Semantic research data management with CaosDB — •Daniel Hornung1, Florian Spreckelsen1, and Johannes Freitag2 — 1IndiScale Gmbh, Göttingen — 2Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven
Organizing data from a diversity of sources, from acquisition to publication, can be a tough challenge. We present research data management implementations using the flexible open-source toolkit CaosDB at the Alfred Wegener Institute. CaosDB is used in a diversity of fields such as turbulence physics, legal research, animal behavior and glaciology. CaosDB links research data, makes it findable and retrievable, and keeps data consistent, even if the data model changes.
In the presented example, CaosDB keeps track of ice core samples and to whom samples are loaned for analyses. It made possible additional features such as: A revision system to track all changes to the data and the sample state at the time of analysis. Automated gathering of information for the publication in FAIR-DO meta-data repositories, e.g. Pangaea. Tools for storing, displaying and querying geospatial information and graphical summaries of all analyses performed on each ice core. Automatic data extraction and refinement into data records in CaosDB to minimize manual users interaction. A state machine which guarantees certain workflows, simplifies development and can be extended to trigger additional actions upon transitions.
We demonstrate how CaosDB simplifies semantic data in science and enables advanced data processing and understanding.
