Solidipes: an interoperable tool for curation of research data

Achieving FAIR open-science needs reproducible scientific data and publications to be associated. While choosing the appropriate tools and storage facilities is already difficult, ensuring the quality of an open publication of datasets relies heavily on data curation procedures. Curation calls for proper data validations and annotations, which are clearly discipline dependent. This proposal aims at exploring the extension of Solidipes, a dataset curation software, to make it suitable to each scientific discipline's needs, but also to broaden the platforms (repositories) Solidipes can interact with. For this project, researchers from computational mechanics and astrophysics associate with a member of the EPFL library in order to gather the experience necessary to cover this ambitious explore project. If funded, the project's team will collaborate with the teams of Episciences (French diamond open access platform) and with Renku (Swiss platform deploying tools for reproducible and collaborative data analysis). This proposal describes how to fill gaps towards a modern and multidisciplinary ecosystem for dataset+paper publications.
