A structured metadata model for sharing data from rock deformation laboratory experiments
Main Article Content
Abstract
Structured metadata defined in a machine-readable format are the foundation of FAIR data and open research. To describe rock deformation laboratory experiments, standardized metadata formats are currently missing. This limits the annotation of metadata describing the experiments, as well as the data and metadata produced during the experiments. To address this issue, we propose a structured metadata model, a configuration for OpenBIS data platform, and a web interface to annotate the metadata of experiments and data files. We developed a structured metadata model based on our user experience on performing rock deformation experiments. Then, we fully configured OpenBIS data platform using a docker container stack. Finally, we modified an existing Streamlit application allowing users to annotate metadata according to our structure, upload and annotate data files automatically. This approach allows us to annotate data and metadata produced in rock deformation laboratory experiments in a systematic and structured way to foster the adoption of FAIR principles and open science across rock deformation laboratories and hopefully across geosciences laboratories in general.
