Advancing marine research through integrated metadata management at IOW

Placke, Manja; Hassenrück, Christiane; Feistel, Susanne; Jürgensmann, Susanne

Abstract

Abstract: The Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) maintains one of the longest continuous data series of marine observations, which began in the 1950s. Over the decades, the integration of evolving technologies and methodologies has played a crucial role in expanding the institute’s research capabilities. Since the turn of the millennium, the technological progress has accelerated exponentially, creating new opportunities for modern marine research. At the same time, climate change and other anthropogenic influences pose new challenges from which further research tasks arise. Addressing these challenges requires advances across several domains, including measurement technologies & instrumentation, modeling, bioinformatics and research data management. The IOW is committed to evolving its data management infrastructure in line with modern best practices, including the FAIR data principles and following community standards for data and metadata. One key element of this approach is IOW’s new database framework "MetaTransfer". It is designed to connect metadata of the often heterogeneous data outputs from the various marine scientific disciplines by enriching the metadata with information about related datasets and the research environment. Moreover, it aims to simplify the metadata collection process for data creators. The poster presentation provides details on how this framework might be achieved.

These systems contain high-quality, structured metadata, from left to right: • A Current Research Information System, collecting all project information, involved scientists, publications, events, presentations and collaborations, • A GeoNetwork metadata catalogue „IOWMETA“ distributing metadata according to ISO standard for geo-referenced metadata, • A DOI server to publish datasets and software according to DataCite requirements, • A document-oriented database for DNA sequencing data and metadata in compliance with internationally accepted metadata standards (MIxS) and compatible with external data archives to facilitate data submission after project completion, and • A Hyrax server for gridded datasets created from ocean model simulations, containing standardized metadata to provide access via the OPeNDAP protocol. - document-oriented database for DNA sequencing data and metadata - compliant with internationally accepted metadata standards (e.g. MIxS) - compatible with external data archives to facilitate data submission after project completion (GFBio) Metadata complete Metadata complete and archived on SRA Metadata missing / incomplete Other N = 5718 Data volume [TB] Metabarcoding (DNA) Metabarcoding (RNA) Metatranscriptomic Transcriptomic Metagenomic Manja Placke, Christiane Hassenrück, Susanne Feistel, Susanne Jürgensmann – Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) – - IOW’s new database framework - APIs connect metadata, datasets, environment from various marine scientific disciplines enriching & connecting metadata embedding all data within the "bigger picture“ automatic metadata transfer & format export Meta Transfer automatic, standardized harvesting and publication of datasets via GeoNetwork metadata catalogue IOWMETA - monitoring data of phyto- & zooplankton in the Baltic Sea since the 1990s (+ benthos in a specialized database) Meta Transfer
