by Trautwein-Bruns, Ute 17 Apr '25

17 Apr '25

Dear Data Stewards@RWTH, the Call for Contributions for "Data Stewardship goes Germany 2025" (DSgG 2025) is open! This year's workshop will focus on "Data Stewardship in Day-to-Day Research Activities - Use Cases and Best Practices". The event will take place from 30 September to 1 October 2025 in Karlsruhe and will provide an excellent opportunity to network with peers and share experiences from daily data stewardship practice. Submission of abstracts (until 12 May 2025) via the event website: https://indico.kit.edu/event/5012/ In addition, I would also like to take the opportunity to share some updates on the development of a German Data Steward Community. As many of you may remember, initial steps toward building such a community were taken during the Community Canvas sessions at DSgG 2024 in Aachen. Since then, working groups have been established focusing on Vision & Strategy, Channels & Yellow Pages, and Challenges. The current status of this nationwide community and ideas for the next steps will be discussed at the upcoming DSgG interim meeting, which will take place online on 15th May 2025 (12-14h). If you are interested in shaping this community feel free to register: https://rwth.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/CVuqfaMIRp-XpnyLkQmv1w To stay informed about developments, upcoming meetings, and working group activities, subscribe to the mailing list: https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/info/datastewardsgermany If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Dear all, our next RDM network meeting will take place on April 24, 2025 (10 - 11:30 am). It is a topic special focusing on AI support in research. The agenda includes: 1. AI-supported scientific writing: Focus on literature research Lena Nietzschmann will provide a general introduction to AI tools in scientific writing with a specific focus on literature research. Some exemplary tools will be shown as well as techniques to find and analyze relevant publications. 2. Ontology-Based Annotation of Research Data Using LLMs Soo-Yon Kim will present the preliminary results of a master thesis. A tool was developed to semi-automatically add concepts from ontologies to research data using LLM and visualise them as knowledge graphs. In addition we want to open the floor for discussion and exchange on the use of AI tools in your research practice. Further short flash talks are welcome, if you are currently working on something related to the topic that you would like to share or get feedback on. Feel free to reach out to me, so I can schedule accordingly.

Updates to RDM network meetings | new time slot!
by Trautwein-Bruns, Ute 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Dear RDM community@RWTH, based on the evaluation of our network activities, we are making some changes to the structure of our meetings. We already presented the details at our last network meeting on March 19th 2025. The slides are available in the project room [1]<https://intranet.rwth-aachen.de/group/datastewards-rwth/startseite>. Our goal is to simplify participation by eliminating the distinction between Data Stewards and other RDM-active members while reducing the overall time commitment for the Data Stewards. So, we are merging the monthly Data Steward Jour Fixe with the monthly RDM Network Meeting. This will result in approximately 10 meetings per year with a mix of formats: * 6 Topic Specials (online, 90 min.): presentations, science(speed)dating and other interactive elements * 2 Practice Specials (online, 90 min.): stand-up round to shortly present the current RDM tasks based on a documentation in the project room, topic-based exchange * 2 Practice Specials (in-person, 120 min + lunchtime): flash talks to current RDM tasks, Q&A, topic-based exchange, networking The "Practice Specials" are mandatory for all Data Stewards and open to all RDM network members who are willing to actively contribute by presenting their RDM work in the meeting and in the intranet project room. Unfortunately, we agreed on a new time slot. In future the RDM network meetings will take place on the 4th Thursday of each month at 10:00 AM. Therefore, I will delete the existing meeting series and set up a new recurring appointment. Please keep an eye on your calendar invitations and update your schedules accordingly. I sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience these adjustments may cause! And many thanks for your patience and understanding during the transition to this new format. We hope these changes will foster more efficient and valuable exchanges while making participation more accessible. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming meetings!
