Computational workflows represent major investments of effort and expertise. As first-class, publishable research objects of their own, they are key to sharing methodological know-how for reuse, reproducibility, and transparency. Thus, the…
The Virtual Observatory Registry is a distributed directory of information systems and other resources relevant to astronomy. To make it useful, facilities to query that directory must be provided to humans and machines alike. This article…
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is an international attempt to collect astronomical data (images, simulation, mission-logs, etc), organize it and develop tools that let astronomers access this huge amount of information. The VO not only…
The U.S. Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO) is a product-driven organization that provides new scientific research capabilities to the astronomical community. Software development for the VAO follows a lightweight framework that guides…
This paper extends the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) guidelines to provide criteria for assessing if software conforms to best practices in open source. By adding 'USE' (User-Centered, Sustainable, Equitable),…
Like every other field of intellectual endeavor, astronomy is being revolutionised by the advances in information technology. There is an ongoing exponential growth in the volume, quality, and complexity of astronomical data sets, mainly…
The broad sharing of research data is widely viewed as of critical importance for the speed, quality, accessibility, and integrity of science. Despite increasing efforts to encourage data sharing, both the quality of shared data, and the…
In the digital age, data has emerged as one of the most valuable assets across various sectors, including academia, industry, and healthcare. Effective data preservation involves the management of data to ensure its long-term accessibility…
The goal of this white paper is to provide a snapshot of the data availability and data needs primarily for the Ariel space mission, but also for related atmospheric studies of exoplanets and brown dwarfs. It covers the following…
Open Science has been a rising theme in the landscape of science policy in recent years. The goal is to make research that emerges from publicly funded science to become findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) for use by…
The availability of open data and of tools to create visualizations on top of these open datasets have led to an ever-growing amount of geovisualizations on the Web. There is thus an increasing need for techniques to make geovisualizations…
Experience with ASTROVIRTEL, scientific analysis of current large data sets, and detailed preparation for the truly huge future missions especially GAIA, provide important lessons for the Astrophysical Virtual Observatory. They demonstrate…
The concept of FAIR Digital Objects represents a foundational step towards realizing machine-actionable, interoperable data infrastructures across scientific and industrial domains. As digital spaces become increasingly heterogeneous,…
The findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data principles provide a framework for examining, evaluating, and improving how data is shared to facilitate scientific discovery. Generalizing these principles to research…
The development of a knowledge repository for climate science data is a multidisciplinary effort between the domain experts (climate scientists), data engineers whos skills include design and building a knowledge repository, and machine…
While the FAIR principles are well accepted in the scientific community, the implementation of appropriate metadata editing and transfer to ensure FAIR research data in practice is significantly lagging behind. On the one hand, it strongly…
There is a growing acknowledgement in the scientific community of the importance of making experimental data machine findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). Recognizing that high quality metadata are essential to make…
