Dear colleague, Please find below the information for our ELIXIR-NL Training on technical aspects of Data Stewardship. Course: Technical Data Stewardship Date: 2-4 December 2019 Location: Amsterdam Science Park Congress Centre, Science Park 123, 1098 XG Amsterdam. Course fee: Registration is free of charge Registration page: <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/elixir-nl-training-technical-data-stewardshi p-registration-77268192243> https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/elixir-nl-training-technical-data-stewardship -registration-77268192243 Course description We will explore the ELIXIR Data stewardship wizard and see how one can employ and adopt it towards a community or research project. We will set the first steps on the path to FAIRify metadata by means of linked data. And finally we will see how FAIR data can be used in computational workflows and how to gather provenance data while working with data assets. The training is organised by ELIXIR-NL and will be given by DTL, ELIXIR CZ, SURF and Wageningen University. Target audience The training is targeted at data stewards, data scientists and research software engineers who would like to deepen their knowledge on concepts and practical implementations of data management/stewardship tools. We assume that you are familiar with programming in a language like Python, R or Matlab. Learning outcomes Participants will gain insight into the Data Stewardship Wizard how to employ and adjust the tool towards a special use case. They will learn about the principles of data modeling and making data FAIR by means of linked data. During the course we will apply these technologies to a real world data set. Participants will know afterwards how to approach their own data and can set first steps on the FAIRification process. Finally participants will know how to manage data and metadata in iRODS and how to employ data and metadata stored in iRODS in calculations on a remote compute cluster.
