Regular Metadata Workshops
The Plasma-MDS.org community is organising joint research data management (RDM) workshops. We exchange information about needs in the documentation of laboratory and computational experiments to derive common standards and protocols for research in low-temperature plasma science.
The online workshops are organized in such a way that tabular templates on one device type or method at a time are developed based on existing expertise and templates. The results are made available for practical use in the form of JSON schema files and templates for electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) in the GitHub repository. On this basis, the initial drafts can be further developed and established as community standards.
Be part of the initiative
Do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in participating in the workshop series and/or contributing requirements in individual topics. You are welcome to join our Plasma-MDS mailing list to stay informed about upcoming events.
Programme
The online workshops are usually held on the third Friday of each month at 2 pm (Central European (Summer) Time) and unsually take about 60 to 90 min.
