Abstract

Purpose – Research data management (RDM) comprises all processes, which ensure that research data are well-organized, documented, stored, backed up, accessible, and reusable. RDM systems form the technical framework. The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of a RDM system for an interdisciplinary, collaborative, long-term research project with focus on Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere data. Design/methodology/approach – The presented RDM system is based on a three-tier (client-server) architecture. This includes a file-based data storage, a database-based metadata storage, and a self-designed user-friendly web-interface. The system is designed in cooperation with the local computing centre, where it is also hosted. A self-designed interoperable, project-specific metadata schema ensures the accurate documentation of all data. Findings – A RDM system has to be designed and implemented according to requirements of the project participants. General challenges and problems of RDM should...

多学科合作研究项目的研究数据管理服务:TR32DB项目数据库的设计和实现

目的-研究数据管理(RDM)包括所有流程，确保研究数据得到良好的组织、记录、存储、备份、可访问和可重用。RDM系统构成了技术框架。本文的目的是为一个跨学科、合作、长期的研究项目提供一个RDM系统的设计和实现，重点是土壤-植被-大气数据。设计/方法论/方法——所提出的RDM系统基于三层(客户机-服务器)体系结构。这包括基于文件的数据存储、基于数据库的元数据存储和自行设计的用户友好的web界面。该系统是与当地计算中心合作设计的，也在当地托管。自行设计的可互操作的、特定于项目的元数据模式确保了所有数据的准确文档。发现- RDM系统必须根据项目参与者的需求来设计和实施。RDM的一般挑战和问题应该……
