❄️ Winter Data Wonder #3 – Meet the New FAIR Check
The updated FAIR Check from NFDI4Culture makes it easier to assess how Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable your data are.
The new version is more intuitive and interactive, featuring a FAIRness wheel, progress bars, info boxes and a save function.
Originally designed for the humanities, it’s useful far beyond that community.

Today's post completes our strategy video series with #NFDI Director @york. This time, the focus is on ensuring sustainability through operating models.

“Imagine metabolomics data that smoothly moves between tools—no conversions, no barriers.”
At the ELIXIR BioHackathon, NFDI4Chem joined 40+ experts testing mzTab-M with real datasets. 20 successful tool-to-tool exchanges strengthened interoperability and revealed where standards must evolve. A solid step toward FAIR, reproducible MS workflows. 🔬📄

The 8th #OpenAIRE Open Science Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp kicks off next week!
Over five intensive days, selected trainers from around the world will hone their skills in #OpenScience, #RDM, #FAIRPrinciples, #OpenAccess, #EOSC, and effective training practices, combining live sessions, hands-on work & peer exchange.
Missed out? Stay tuned for the next Bootcamp in 2026!
Just did some queries using NCBI's `dataset` utility program.
It only worked 1 time in a dozen or so trials.
If NCBI is getting instable, for whatever reason, is there an EU alternative?
The commands were like
`datasets download genome accession {params.accession} --include genome`
So, even if there is a mirror, software support is another issue to solve ...

28 Systems architects from all #NFDI consortia, two highly productive days at @gwdg in #Göttingen, one shared goal: To make all NFDI services interoperable by an overall architecture. As an outcome, we now have a blueprint of the overall architecture and many ideas how to flesh it out in future work of the working group overall architecture of NFDI #section-infra.
