RDM Platform Coscine - FAIR play integrated right from the start

Nowadays, researchers often need to distribute their research data among a multitude of service providers with varying (if any) levels of maturity in terms of FAIR Research Data Management (RDM). To provide researchers with a single point of access to their project data and to add a ‘FAIR’ layer to already established services, the RDM platform Coscine was developed. Within Coscine different services (so-called resources) can be added to a project, allowing access to the associated data for all project participants. A Persistent Identifier (PID) is assigned for each resource and metadata management is integrated with flexibly definable schemas based on Resource Description Framework [1] (RDF), Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). Thereby, Coscine bundles for each project the research data, metadata, interfaces and PIDs into a linked record according to the FAIR Digital Object [2] (FDO) model.
