Make the most of your visual simulation data

Abstract

There still exists no common standard on how to publish and cite visualisations of simulation data. We introduce the TIB AV-Portal as a sustainable infrastructure for audio-visual data using a combination of digital object identifiers (DOI) and media fragment identifiers (MFID) to cite these data in accordance with scientific standards. The benefits and opportunities of enhancing publications with visual data are illustrated by showing a use case from opto-electronics.
