Meet the Key Players in Research Data Management
Explore the Unity of TA 3: The Consortium!
Matthias Razum, the head honcho of the e-Research department at FIZ Karlsruhe, is a man of many hats. With a degree in business informatics under his belt, he's been steering the ship at FIZ Karlsruhe since 1995, starting as a software developer. His prime focus has been on research data management, virtual research environments, and digital long-term archiving, contributing to several major projects like eSciDoc, SCAPE, and RADAR.
With a team of 32 software engineers, UX designers, project managers, and domain experts at his helm, Matthias has been the driving force behind the operation of the generic research data repository RADAR. He's also a member of various working groups on research data management on both national and state levels.
Now, let's take a gander at our KIT worker, who works tirelessly on generic research data management, data analysis, and machine learning at the esteemed Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This worker is a vital cog in the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC), developing and running several research data management and long-term bit preservation services.
In addition to handling data repositories and electronic lab notebooks, such as chemotion, and big data management and analysis, this worker has also devised a concept and software framework for structural analysis of massive multivariate time series data. The worker is engaged in numerous large-scale data management projects, including bwDataArchive, where the first-ever generic research data archive infrastructure was built up.
Contributions to research data management, virtual research environments, and digital long-term archiving can significantly impact the overall scientific landscape. By improving data management practices, developing virtual platforms, and creating strategies for long-term data preservation, these individuals are instrumental in enhancing research efficiency, fostering global collaborations, and maintaining the legacy of scientific research.
Here's a snapshot of potential contributions and achievements:
- Research Data Management: Developing protocols for data collection, storage, and retrieval, enhancing data accessibility, reducing data loss, and improving data sharing protocols.
- Virtual Research Environments (VREs): Designing and implementing virtual platforms for collaborative research, facilitating the integration of diverse research teams, and improving collaboration tools.
- Digital Long-Term Archiving: Developing strategies for long-term data preservation, ensuring data integrity and accessibility, and contributing to standards for digital preservation.
Matthias Razum, at FIZ Karlsruhe, manages a research data repository named RADAR, utilizing technology to store, manage, and ensure the longevity of research data. Meanwhile, the worker at KIT, a crucial member of the SCC, contributes to the design and development of technology-driven solutions for research data management, including data analysis and machine learning, focusing on long-term data preservation strategies.
