    ATMODAT Standard v3.0
    (Hamburg : DKRZ, 2020) Gasnke, Anette; Kraft, Angelina; Kaiser, Amandine; Heydebreck, Daniel; Lammert, Andrea; Höck, Heinke; Thiemann, Hannes; Voss, Vivien; Grawe, David; Leitl, Bernd; Schlünzen, K. Heinke; Kretzschmar, Jan; Quaas, Johannes
    Within the AtMoDat project (Atmospheric Model Data), a standard has been developed which is meant for improving the FAIRness of atmospheric model data published in repositories. The ATMODAT standard includes concrete recommendations related to the maturity, publication and enhanced FAIRness of atmospheric model data. The suggestions include requirements for rich metadata with controlled vocabularies, structured landing pages, file formats (netCDF) and the structure within files. Human- and machine readable landing pages are a core element of this standard, and should hold and present discipline-specific metadata on simulation and variable level. This standard is an updated and translated version of "Bericht über initialen Kernstandard und Kurationskriterien des AtMoDat Projektes (v2.4)

    Persistent identification of instruments
    (London : Ubiquity Press, 2020) Stocker, M.; Darroch, L.; Krahl, R.; Habermann, T.; Devaraju, A.; Schwardmann, U.; D’onofrio, C.; Häggström, I.
    Instruments play an essential role in creating research data. Given the importance of instruments and associated metadata to the assessment of data quality and data reuse, globally unique, persistent and resolvable identification of instruments is crucial. The Research Data Alliance Working Group Persistent Identification of Instruments (PIDINST) developed a community-driven solution for persistent identification of instruments which we present and discuss in this paper. Based on an analysis of 10 use cases, PIDINST developed a metadata schema and prototyped schema implementation with DataCite and ePIC as representative persistent identifier infrastructures and with HZB (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie) and BODC (British Oceanographic Data Centre) as representative institutional instrument providers. These implementations demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution in practice. Moving forward, PIDINST will further catalyse adoption and consolidate the schema by addressing new stakeholder requirements.

    A short guide to increase FAIRness of atmospheric model data
    (Stuttgart : E. Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2020) Ganske, Anette; Heydebreck, Daniel; Höck, Daniel; Kraft, Angelina; Quaas, Johannes; Kaiser, Amandine
    The generation, processing and analysis of atmospheric model data are expensive, as atmospheric model runs are often computationally intensive and the costs of ‘fast’ disk space are rising. Moreover, atmospheric models are mostly developed by groups of scientists over many years and therefore only few appropriate models exist for specific analyses, e.g. for urban climate. Hence, atmospheric model data should be made available for reuse by scientists, the public sector, companies and other stakeholders. Thereby, this leads to an increasing need for swift, user-friendly adaptation of standards.The FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) were established to foster the reuse of data. Research data become findable and accessible if they are published in public repositories with general metadata and Persistent Identifiers (PIDs), e.g. DataCite DOIs. The use of PIDs should ensure that describing metadata is persistently available. Nevertheless, PIDs and basic metadata do not guarantee that the data are indeed interoperable and reusable without project-specific knowledge. Additionally, the lack of standardised machine-readable metadata reduces the FAIRness of data. Unfortunately, there are no common standards for non-climate models, e.g. for mesoscale models, available. This paper proposes a concept to improve the FAIRness of archived atmospheric model data. This concept was developed within the AtMoDat project (Atmospheric Model Data). The approach consists of several aspects, each of which is easy to implement: requirements for rich metadata with controlled vocabulary, the landing pages, file formats (netCDF) and the structure within the files. The landing pages are a core element of this concept as they should be human- and machine readable, hold discipline-specific metadata and present metadata on simulation and variable level. This guide is meant to help data producers and curators to prepare data for publication. Furthermore, this guide provides information for the choice of keywords, which supports data reusers in their search for data with search engines. © 2020 The authors

    AtMoDat: Improving the reusability of ATmospheric MOdel DATa with DataCite DOIs paving the path towards FAIR data
    (München : European Geosciences Union, 2020) Neumann, Daniel; Ganske, Anette; Voss, Vivien; Kraft, Angelina; Höck, Heinke; Peters, Karsten; Quaas, Johannes; Schluenzen, Heinke; Thiemann, Hannes
    The generation of high quality research data is expensive. The FAIR principles were established to foster the reuse of such data for the benefit of the scientific community and beyond. Publishing research data with metadata and DataCite DOIs in public repositories makes them findable and accessible (FA of FAIR). However, DOIs and basic metadata do not guarantee the data are actually reusable without discipline-specific knowledge: if data are saved in proprietary or undocumented file formats, if detailed discipline-specific metadata are missing and if quality information on the data and metadata are not provided. In this contribution, we present ongoing work in the AtMoDat project, -a consortium of atmospheric scientists and infrastructure providers, which aims on improving the reusability of atmospheric model data. Consistent standards are necessary to simplify the reuse of research data. Although standardization of file structure and metadata is well established for some subdomains of the earth system modeling community – e.g. CMIP –, several other subdomains are lacking such standardization. Hence, scientists from the Universities of Hamburg and Leipzig and infrastructure operators cooperate in the AtMoDat project in order to advance standardization for model output files in specific subdomains of the atmospheric modeling community. Starting from the demanding CMIP6 standard, the aim is to establish an easy-to-use standard that is at least compliant with the Climate and Forecast (CF) conventions. In parallel, an existing netCDF file convention checker is extended to check for the new standards. This enhanced checker is designed to support the creation of compliant files and thus lower the hurdle for data producers to comply with the new standard. The transfer of this approach to further sub-disciplines of the earth system modeling community will be supported by a best-practice guide and other documentation. A showcase of a standard for the urban atmospheric modeling community will be presented in this session. The standard is based on CF Conventions and adapts several global attributes and controlled vocabularies from the well-established CMIP6 standard. Additionally, the AtMoDat project aims on introducing a generic quality indicator into the DataCite metadata schema to foster further reuse of data. This quality indicator should require a discipline-specific implementation of a quality standard linked to the indicator. We will present the concept of the generic quality indicator in general and in the context of urban atmospheric modeling data.

    Isn't a number and a URL enough? Why PIDs matter and technical solutions alone are not sufficient
    (Zenodo, 2023) Schrader, Antonia C.; Hagemann-Wilholt, Stephanie; Czerniak, Andreas
    In the presentation, we introduce the two projects PID4NFDI and PID Network Germany that deal with PIDs at the national level, present some initial findings and highlight their benefit for NFDI. PIDs are used and needed along the entire lifecycle of research data: from enabling to connecting. However, a particular focus for the presentation will be laid on harmonising and connecting.
