By addressing shared institutional needs, CaSDaR is working to establish clear career paths and meaningful recognition for data stewards—while fostering a collaborative, supportive community.
This initiative is a crucial step toward empowering technical professionals in data stewardship and unlocking the full potential of research data to drive innovation and discovery.
Unclear data provenance creates confusion and limits trust.
Without knowing how data was processed or derived, reproducibility suffers and analysis becomes unreliable.
Tracking every step, from collection to transformation, ensures transparency, accountability, and scientific integrity. Make provenance a priority to support robust, FAIR-aligned research!

FAI(r)Re* Daten, d.h. tatsächlich nachnutzbare Daten, sollten die Zugänglichkeit möglichst zielgruppenorientiert gestalten. #APIs sind wichtig, aber in manchen Fällen zu komplex oder aufwendig. #Dumps können hier eine sinnvolle Ergänzung sein. Bei @digiSberlin bieten wir nun für Berliner #GLAMs Abzüge der über die @ddbkultur verfügbaren Daten an: https://openbiblio.social/@digiSberlin/114352892890117038 (https://www.digis-online.de/objects/berlinOpenGLAMdata/).

Warum funktioniert Forschungssoftware nach ein paar Jahren oft nicht mehr? Antworten gibt’s bei der 9. NFDIxCS Soirée!
Christoph B. Blessing zeigt außerdem, wie man mit Docker, Guix & REEuse stabile, wiederverwendbare Umgebungen baut – am Beispiel des WiKoDa-Dashboards.
