Quantitative information derived from scientific documents provides an important source of data for studies in almost all domains, however, manual extraction of this information is very time consuming. In this paper we will introduce a system Geo-Quantities that supports the automatic extraction of quantitative, spatial and temporal information of a given measurement entity from scientific literature using text mining techniques. The difficulty of automatic measurement recognition is mainly caused by the diverse expressions in the papers. Geo-Quantities offers an interactive interface for the visualization of extracted user-defined information, in particular spatial and temporal context. In our demonstration, we will showcase the capabilities of our system by retrieving measurements such as "mass accumulation rates" and "sedimentation rates" from scientific publications in the field of marine geology, which could have high impact in studies for building global mass accumulation rate maps. For training and evaluation of Geo-Quantities we use a corpus of domain-relevant papers.

<p>The International Generic Sample Number (IGSN) is a crucial tool for ensuring the traceability and preservation of physical specimens in the Earth Science community. As a persistent identifier (PID), IGSN serves as a link between published digital data and the physical samples stored in a repository, enabling the creation of synergies with other services through the harvesting of machine-readable data.</p><p>The IGSN can be assigned to a physical specimen at the time of collection, either on board a research vessel or during a field campaign. This unique identifier will follow the sample through the various stages of processing and analysis. In this use case, we demonstrate how IGSN can be minted for sediment cores directly on board a research vessel and then subsequently linked to relevant research data infrastructures (RDIs) such as DSHIP and PANGAEA. This allows for the traceability and easy identification of the samples as they are transported and stored in different repositories.</p><p>Incorporating IGSN into a RDI helps to broadcast the existence of physical material and makes it more easily discoverable by researchers. This is especially useful for marine field work, which can be expensive and may not be accessible to all researchers. By making information about samples available as open access, researchers are able to easily locate and reuse existing material, which can be particularly beneficial for smaller research projects or research communities with limited resources. This is especially relevant in times of crisis, when access to certain regions may be restricted and there is an increased demand for the reuse of existing samples.</p><p>In our research institutions, there is close collaboration between RDI providers and sample curators to manage both the digital data and the physical objects, such as plant samples in a herbarium, rocks and sediment cores, and biological material. In this presentation, we will use our case studies to discuss the successes of sample management in relation to IGSN. In addition, we will address the challenges that we have encountered and how we are working to overcome them. Our goal is to provide reliable services to our communities with a long-term perspective, and we believe that the incorporation of IGSN into RDIs can help to foster cultural change and encourage international collaboration in the Earth Science community. In addition, the use of IGSN and RDIs can contribute to the sustainability and reproducibility of research.</p>

Das Papier "Grundlagen eines partnerschaftlichen Forschungsdatenmanagements - Anforderungen an eine schleswig-holsteinische Landesinitiative zum Forschungsdatenmanagement" umreißt die Anforderungen für eine schleswig-holsteinische Landesinitiative zum Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM-SH). Hierfür wird zunächst das Umfeld, in dem eine solche Initiative entstehen und agieren soll, beschrieben. So beeinflussen sowohl die Eigenheiten der regionalen Forschungslandschaft wie auch die Entwicklungen im Bereich der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) die Ausprägungen von Landesinitiativen. Die speziellen Anforderungen werden durch den Vergleich mit anderen Landesinitiativen, die Analyse von spezifischen Umfrageergebnissen aus Schleswig-Holstein sowie die Berücksichtigung der Anforderungen der NFDI gesammelt. Der Ansatz des partnerschaftlichen Forschungsdatenmanagements (FDM) spiegelt das Anliegen Schleswig-Holsteins wider, die Herausforderungen für ein zeitgemäßes FDM vor Ort gemeinsam zu bewältigen und dabei sowohl Know-how zu teilen als auch Ressourcen zu schonen.

Das Papier „Ansatz für ein partnerschaftliches Forschungsdatenmanagement – Konzept für eine schleswig-holsteinische Landesinitiative zum Forschungsdatenmanagement“ stellt Aufgaben, Arbeitsweise, Organisation sowie Zuständigkeiten für die schleswig-holsteinische Landesinitiative zum Forschungsdatenmanagement FDM-SH vor.

Der virtuelle Rundgang durch das Historische Seminar in der Leibnizstr. 8 stellt eine Art ›Bestandssicherung‹ dar. Die 1970/1972 errichteten Fakultätenblöcke in der Leibnizstraße werden bis 2028 grundsaniert. Der virtuelle Rundgang soll Einblicke in die aktuellen und bald selbst historischen Räumlichkeiten des Seminars geben.
