KnowLedger: An Open Ecosystem for Research Data Management - A PSDI Webinar

The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use. Our webinar series provide updates on our exploratory pathfinder work, and on relevant tools and technologies that have been developed by members of our community. This video presents a recording of the hybrid Knowledger webinar presented by Professor Stuart Chalk on 12th November 2024. The recording of this webinar is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Pqrda-sp0lk Abstract: The KnowLedger project is about the creation of an ecosystem to support the varied and ever evolving needs of the scientific research community. As such, the project is focused on what needs to be built as part of the ecosystem (tools, protocols, services) and how should it be developed so that the research community is part of the team and can thus enable features they wish for a notebook to fit their research needs. This presentation will discuss the current approach on how to achieve KnowLedger, how researchers can get involved, and the timeline of the project. Attendees should think about the following question ‘What features would a research data management platform have for my research?
