{% trans "Welcome to the HELmholtz ScIentific Project WORkflow PlaTform" %}

{% trans "The guidance system HELIPORT aimes to make the entire life cycle of a project at the HZDR searchable, accessible, complete and reusable according to the FAIR principles, mentioned below. In particular, our data management solution deals with the areas from the generation of the data to the publication of primary research data, the workflows carried out and the actual research results. For this purpose, a concept was developed which shows the various essential components and their connections. Descriptions of the individual components can be found in our RODARE publication (here)." %}



{% trans "Mission" %}

{% trans "Our goal is to develop the technical implementation of a holistic digital research data management for all researchers at the HZDR. As a first step, this involves linking the existing data sources, documenting the experiments, controlling and integrating data analyzes of the primary data, and establishing a complete data provenance." %}



The FAIR Principles

HELIPORT follows the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles definition which is referenced from:

To be Findable

  • F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier
    • Each published record is registered in Datacite and receives a DOI.
  • F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below)
    • Rodare uses DataCite's metadata scheme with minimum and recommended terms.
  • F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes
    • The DOI is a mandatory field of each record.
  • F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource
    • Metatadata of each record is indexed and searchable immediately after publishing directly in Rodare.

To be Accessible

  • A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol
    • Metadata can be harvested through the OAI-PMH interface as well as the public REST API
    • A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable
      • The protocols specified below A1 are publicly available, free and universally implementable.
    • A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary
      • Metadata is always accessible without any authentication or authorization procedure.
  • A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available
    • Metadata will be available, even if the files are no longer available in RODARE

To be Interoperable

  • I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.
  • I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles
    • Some metadata terms refer to external, publicly available vocabularies, e.g. OpenDefinition for licenses and OpenAIRE for grants.
  • I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data
    • Each external metadata term is referenced by a resolvable URL.

To be Reusable

  • R1. meta(data) are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes
    • Each record must contain the mandatory terms of the DataCite Metadata Scheme and can additionally include additional DataCite fields or custom additions.
    • R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license
      • License is a mandatory term for Open Access and Embargoed records and needs to be specified.
      • Data which is downloaded by a user is subject to the specified license in the metadata.
    • R1.2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance
      • Every data and metadata uploaded to RODARE is associated to a registered RODARE user.
      • In the record's metadata the original authors can be specified.
    • R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards
      • RODARE is a multi-domain institutional repository. The DataCite Metadata Scheme is a broadly applicable and universally accepted cross-domain metadata standard.
