Participation of DataPLANT at the InvenioRDM community meeting

Wed Apr 02 2025

From March 24 to 28, DataPLANT and the University of Freiburg’s computing center were represented at the InvenioRDM community meeting in Hamburg. InvenioRDM is the open source software that runs the ARChive for publishing ARCs. The datasets can be permanently referenced by DOIs. The software emerged from a project at CERN. It is the basis of the well-known and widely used Zenodo. Many science-led organizations now also rely on it. InvenioRDM could potentially also become an jointservice for the NFDI. The developer community is broad and very active.

The meeting at the University of Hamburg was organized according to the Open Space technology. New features and expectations of the community were discussed in workshops. The connection with other systems and the sustainability of data were a particular focus. A continuous flow of data and its publication is a core of Open Science. This is implemented in DataPLANT through the ARC publication workflow, which is currently being updated.
