Abstract
The German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) aims to make valuable data from science and research systematically accessible, linkable, and usable in a sustainable and high-quality manner. It consists of 26 NFDI consortia, which cover a wide range of research disciplines, and work together in an interdisciplinary manner to implement professional Research Data Management (RDM). Base4NFDI (launched 2023) is a joint initiative of all 26 NFDI consortia. The initiative creates a framework for a user-driven, cross-disciplinary, and quality-assured portfolio of sustainable basic services. It builds on existing solutions that are interoperable with international infrastructures, such as the EOSC infrastructure. Base4NFDI is aimed at developing foundational services to support FAIR research data management across disciplines. Therefore the framework integrates and establishes basic services as common, interoperable solutions by using or extending already existing services. Base4NFDI drives service development using a bottom-up approach. Meaning that its domain-agnostic service development is facilitated by the community identifying their own cross-cutting needs and subsequently realising and developing these services. The Base4NFDI services bring together a diversity of national partners with different starting positions and institutional resources. By providing stable tools and services, Base4NFDI offers support in the collection, storage, management, and publication of FAIR research data. The promotion of interoperability and sustainable accessibility of data through the implementation of open standards and the development of best practices is central to this. This poster presents Base4NFDI's development process and services, inviting international input on aspects such as service catalogue, and exploring ways to build sustainable infrastructure.

If interested let us know A basic service is a cross-disciplinary, technicalorganisational solution that is typically defined by: ●storage & compute services, software, processes & workflows that typically bundle existing services ●personnel support for different service desks ●(inter)national, interoperability, scalability, and sustainability with trackable KPIs … and creates value for all NFDI consortia!
