This workshop is organized by the GMDS project group “FAIRe Dateninfrastrukturen für die Biomedizinische Informatik”, that has been established in early 2019. The aim of this project group is to bundle activities within GMDS and beyond all across Germany that deal with infrastructure support for FAIR (Finadable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data management. To this end, an exchange of experiences and expertises is intended to discuss and establish joint concepts in the field of biomedical informatics and the underlying data and to develop implementation strategies. This workshop aims to present the GMDS project group as well as data infrastructure approaches and corresponding initiatives and their platforms for biomedical basic and translational research, which are based on the FAIR principles.
The workshop will start with a keynote presentation about the FAIR guiding principles for scientific data management and stewardship and their implementation in the life sciences, which will be followed by several presentations introducing national and international initiatives that aim at facilitating “FAIRification” of data in the biomedical research area. The participants of the workshop will discuss the requirements for domain-specific data management infrastructures and their underlying prerequisites such as data standards and standardisation strategies. Strategic approaches for FAIR data management will be outlined as a basis for the next steps and joint activities. The target group of the workshop includes infrastructure providers who develop and operate FAIR tools and platforms for biomedical research, representatives of the relevant specialist communities and research networks that use or wish to use FAIR data infrastructures, as well as all other interested parties interested in the improvement and better dissemination of FAIR data management strategies.
