Precision, documentation, and just a little bit of swagger. 
Ain’t no party like a Data Stewards party, 'cause a Data Stewards party don’t lose track of metadata! 
Here’s to the unsung heroes who keep our data clean, our projects reproducible, and our research future-proof. Because without metadata, it’s just a mess in a spreadsheet!
The newly released ERA Dashboard 2024 features OpenAIRE and EOSC Observatory data across key Open Science indicators!
OpenAIRE’s Graph powers metrics on:
- Open Access publications
- Open datasets
- Repositories
Meanwhile, the EOSC Observatory contributes insights on national investments in Open Science & EOSC.

My new presentation 
– “Data that does no harm: how to manage research data in wartime”.
http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.15879.71846
How can we ensure that research data doesn't put people at risk during war? This talk explores the CARE Principles as an ethical framework for protecting vulnerable communities – especially in Ukraine.
Based on our recent paper in Scientific Data: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04756-9

How do scientists make sense of complex #ResearchData? 
Scientists in low-temperature #PlasmaPhysics, supported by @nfdi4bioimage are developing a domain-specific #ontology and #terminology service to standardize their (meta)data and establish a common technical language. This not only improves data discoverability but also enables the integration and analysis of heterogeneous datasets.

The new paper: https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6463/add710
This is more than a technical issue—it's a scientific one. Funding agencies and journals are already demanding FAIR data practices, and metadata is at the heart of that effort.
Let’s move beyond raw numbers and focus on structured, contextualized data that can stand the test of time, and scrutiny.
Because in science, if data isn’t documented, it might as well not exist. 
Diese Woche Donnerstag bieten wir wieder unsere offene Sprechstunde, die „Text+ Research Rendezvous“ an. Einfach vorbeischauen und Anliegen zu text- & sprachbezogenen Forschungsdaten oder rund um #NFDI direkt mit Mitarbeitenden aus Text+ besprechen: -> https://events.gwdg.de/category/208/. Wir freuen uns auf Sie und Euch! #digitalhumanities #consulting #Forschungsdaten #academia #researchdata #FAIR
It's almost been 4 years since I did the original white paper for research data management for my organisation.
I was chatting recently with some people who are on the project to see how many of my predictions came true. Here is my list:

Great to see such a strong and diverse presence of @NFDI at #HMC_CON2025 !
The range of contributions highlights the depth and collaborative spirit of the community. Many thanks to you and Stefanie and all other NDFI presenters for driving forward research data management in such a meaningful way.

A day later and still inspired by #HMC_CON2025!
Day 3 wrapped up with sessions on Human Actors, FAIR Metrics & Metadata Management – showing again: good metadata needs both people and tech.
Big thanks to all speakers & participants for 3 days full of insights, tools & connection.
Let’s keep making metadata matter – beyond the conference!

Something to add to the 'to read' pile! A useful systematic review of #DMP #semantic #annotation techniques -- the context being that such annotation can unlock machine-actionable DMPs.
