Proposal für eine RDM StackExchange Community
by Lukas C. Bossert 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Liebe FDM-Kolleginnen und FDM-Kollegen, das Rhein-Ruhr Zentrum für wissenschaftliche Datenkompetenz (DKZ.2R) https://www.dkz2r.de/ möchte in unserem gemeinsamen Bestreben um Orientierung und nachhaltige Wirkung im Bereich des Forschungsdatenmanagements eine RDM Expert Community auf StackExchange https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/128340/research-data-management einrichten. StackExchange Communities sind einem bestimmten Thema gewidmet und bieten ein Forum, in dem du Fragen zum jeweiligen Thema stellen und beantworten kannst. Experten können Antworten auch nach oben oder unten bewerten, sodass die hilfreichsten Inhalte ganz oben erscheinen und leicht zu finden sind. Auf diese Weise kann Wissen öffentlich geteilt und kuratiert werden und bleibt lange Zeit sichtbar. Eine StackExchange Community auf die Beine zu stellen, ist jedoch ein großes Unterfangen, bei dem wir deine Hilfe benötigen! Wie kannst du beitragen? Registriere dich auf Stack Exchange https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/signup „Folge“ dem Community-Vorschlag: https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/128340/research-data-management Bewerte existierende Fragen Stelle deine eigenen Beispielfragen Jeder Beitrag zählt und regelmäßige Aktivität auf dem Community Proposal ist wichtig, damit daraus ein permanenter StackExchange wird. Wir bedanken uns im Voraus für deine Mithilfe! Lukas -- Dr. Lukas C. Bossert stellv. Abteilungsleiter IT Center Gruppe: Technical Training & Consulting Abteilung: Research Process and Data Management RWTH Aachen University Kackertstr. 10 52072 Aachen Tel.: +49 241 80-29280 bossert(a)itc.rwth-aachen.de www.itc.rwth-aachen.de

Hello fellow data stewards, I would like to share information regarding an upcoming in person python workshop hosted by the NFDI4Microbiota and the Data Competency Center. If youre interested, please take a look at the invite below: Empowering Researchers with Foundational Computing Skills: Join the Upcoming Carpentries Workshop In today's fast-paced research environment, the ability to harness computational tools effectively can make a world of difference. Whether you're managing data or automating tasks, having the right skills can significantly streamline your work. That's where The Carpentries come ina global initiative comprising the Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities. These communities are dedicated to equipping researchers with essential computational and data science skills, helping them to work smarter, not harder. If you're eager to enhance your research toolkit, mark your calendar for March 17-18, 2025. The Carpentries will be hosting a hands-on Software Carpentry workshop at Kopernikusstraße 6, 52074 Aachen. This workshop is designed specifically for graduate students and researchers, with priority registration for those affiliated with the DKZ.2R region and the NFDI4Microbiota consortium, though all interested parties are welcome. What Youll Learn This introductory workshop focuses on programming with Python 3, perfect for those with little to no prior experience. Over the course of two days, participants will dive into key concepts and tools, such as: * Scalar Variables and Calculations: Learn to write programs that assign scalar values to variables and perform calculations with those values. * Tracing Variable Changes: Develop the ability to correctly trace value changes in programs that use scalar assignment. * Data Types and Type Conversion: Understand the different data types in Python and how to convert between them. * Python's Built-in Functions and Help: Discover how to use Python's built-in functions effectively and access help within the Python environment. * DataFrames with Pandas: Learn how to read tabular data into DataFrames using the powerful Pandas library. * Plotting with Matplotlib: Get hands-on experience in creating visualizations using the Matplotlib library. * For Loops: Master the use of loops to iterate over data and automate repetitive tasks. * Lists: Explore how to use lists for storing and manipulating collections of data. * Conditionals: Understand how to implement decision-making in your programs using conditional statements. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a solid foundation to apply these skills to your own research challenges. Why Attend? This is more than just a workshopit's a community. Participants are encouraged to help one another, fostering a collaborative learning environment. You'll also have access to a wealth of resources, including the Glosario multilingual glossary, which helps break down computational jargon into understandable terms in your native language. Accessibility and Inclusivity We are committed to making this workshop accessible to everyone. The venue is fully wheelchair and scooter accessible, with available accessible restrooms. We strive to create an inclusive environment and encourage participants to share any specific needs to ensure the best possible experience.
