Data Stewardship in Germany - Community Meeting 2026

As part of the community meeting, the following contribution will be delivered by the German national pilot:

Workshop: From Planning to Working: Using OSTrails interoperablity frameworks to connect RDMO and electronic lab notebooks

Objective: The objective of this session is to evaluate the practical interoperability of machine-actionable data management plans (maDMPs) created with RDMO and electronic lab notebooks (ELNs). Through hands-on testing, participants will apply the current mapping between DMPs and ELNs and provide feedback on the resulting structures, including what is useful, missing, or potentially misleading. The session will also explore potential feedback loops from ELNs back to DMPs to identify practical solutions for improving research data management throughout the research lifecycle.

Target Audience: Data stewards/experts, research communities/data infrastructures, and researchers.

Date & Time: September 29, 2026, 09:15 – 10:45

Trainers: Fabian Fink, Patrick Jüptner, Dominik Schmitz, and Sabine Schönau (RWTH Aachen)
