IDCC26: Workshop 5- Curating data and models to facilitate greater re-use

This workshop will explore how to best curate data in order to optimise re-use of both data and computational models for research purposes. It will focus on discussing the metadata behind the resource and look at both what and why certain elements are required and necessary to allow for greater re-use.

The workshop will demonstrate this using the DAFNI platform, hosted by STFC within UK Research & Innovation, as a dissemination platform for this metadata. The workshop will show attendees how to use DAFNI for data and model curation and dissemination. Examples shown in the workshop come from experiences of curating data and models in the UK Climate Adaptation community and expanding this to partners across Europe as part of the CROSS EU project.

DAFNI is a free to use web platform that support academic research and hosts data and models allows for both to utilised in collaborative workflows developed in the platform with supporting visualisation. There are no knowledge or background requirements for attendees to the workshop and access to DAFNI will be given to attendees to allow them to work through the examples or allow them to test their own data.
