Description

The discussion will focus on the development of a FAIR-by-design data environment for fabrication processes at the Trento facilities of CNR-IFN (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie) and FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler). After presenting the starting point of the work, e.g. the existing management system and workflow used in Trento at the beginning of last year, we will discuss the solution developed to exchange and share data in a FAIR-compliant way. To this end, we will introduce an initial trial of an interoperable taxonomy for fabrication, developed in collaboration with ISMN (Istituto per lo studio dei materiali nanostrutturati) in Bologna.
In the second part, we will focus on the solution implemented to extend the metainfo capabilities of the NOMAD platform, and we will demonstrate how this extension is being used in a local instance of NOMAD currently running on the Trento servers. Furthermore, we will present the first steps toward including characterization techniques in the workflow. This newly implemented feature could also support laboratories that are not yet able to produce NeXus data, helping them convert raw experimental data into more broadly compatible data formats. Finally, we will present some examples and preliminary results.
