    Creating lightweight ontologies for dataset description practical applications in a cross-domain research data management workflow
    ( 2014) João Aguiar Castro ; João Rocha Silva ; Cristina Ribeiro ; 215 ; 5820 ; 5961
    The description of data is a central task in research data management. Describing datasets requires deep knowledge of both the data and the data creation process to ensure adequate capture of their meaning and context. Metadata schemas are usually followed in resource description to enforce comprehensiveness and interoperability, but they can be hard to understand and adopt by researchers. We propose to address data description using ontologies, which can evolve easily, express semantics at different granularity levels and be directly used in system development. Considering that existing ontologies are often hard to use in a crossdomain research data management environment, we present an approach for creating lightweight ontologies to describe research data. We illustrate our process with two ontologies, and then use them as configuration parameters for Dendro, a software platform for research data management currently being developed at the University of Porto.

    Dendro: A FAIR, Open-Source Data Sharing Platform
    ( 2019) Lázaro Gabriel Costa ; João Rocha Silva ; 7741 ; 5820
    Dendro, a research data management (RDM) platform developed at FEUP/INESC TEC since 2014, was initially targeted at collaborative data storage and description in preparation for deposit in any data repository (CKAN, Zenodo, ePrints or B2Share). We implemented our own data deposit and dataset search features, consolidating the whole RDM workflow in Dendro: dataset exporting, automatic DOI attribution, and a dataset faceted search, among other features. We discuss the challenges faced when implemented these features and how they make Dendro more FAIR.
