FAIRmat Tutorial 12: Getting started with NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis for research data management (RDM)
Tutorial
DATE: February 14, 2024 TIME: 13:00-16:00 CEST
SPEAKER(S): Markus Scheidgen, Lauri Himanen
LOCATION: Online

In this online tutorial we will cover the first steps with NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis. We will briefly cover the core NOMAD functionality on exploring, uploading, sharing and publishing data with NOMAD. We will then explore options for creating your own schemas and plugins to support new file formats and create custom electronic lab notebooks (ELNs), we show ways to customize an NOMAD Oasis, and how to contribute to the development of NOMAD and its ecosystem.

The tutorial includes an introduction talk about NOMAD and FAIRmat, including the latest changes and features in NOMAD. This is followed by a practical follow along session, where we go through a Jupyter notebook that demonstrates how to use NOMAD for managing custom data and file types. Based on a simple given dataset, we show how to model the data in a schema, do parsing and normalization, process data, access existing data with NOMAD's API for analysis, and how to add visualization to your data.

Physical Sciences in NFDI Colloquium
Colloquium
DATE: February 14, 2024 TIME: 11:00 CEST
SPEAKER(S): Matthew Newville
LOCATION: Karlsruhe and online

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) gives unique information about the chemical state of materials. Highquality XAS data requires well-prepared samples and access to valuable synchrotron beamlines or state-ofthe-art laboratory sources, XAS data is a rare and valuable commodity. Well-maintained databases of XAS spectra on both standard reference materials and samples then become important for the synchrotron and scientific communities, both for individual researchers and for automated machine-learning methods. Enabling the automated use of spectral libraries requires curated and documented formats and metadata fields for the spectral data. I will present existing XAS spectral libraries and formats, and report on progress from a Working Group from the XAFS community towards standardizing metadata and defining specifications for both plain text and NeXuS/HDF5 formats for XAS data.

Diversity in Physical Sciences
Talk
DATE: February 1, 2024 TIME: 11:00-12:00 CEST
SPEAKER(S): Sonja Herres-Pawlis
LOCATION: Online

How can diversity and equality be increased in the physical sciences? Is it even still necessary or have we already achieved equality, for example with respect to gender? Which measures were taken within the individual scientific communities and what were the outcomes? And which situation do we encounter in infrastructure projects such as the various NFDI consortia?

Sonja Herres-Pawlis (NFDI4Chem) will share her experiences on the situation of diversity within chemistry in a keynote talk.

Afterwards, we invite you to join the discussion on these and more questions related to diversity, equality and equity in order to exchange experiences and discuss new ideas.

FAIRmat Tutorial 9: Plugins: Python schemas and parsers
Tutorial
DATE: April 26, 2023 TIME: 14:00-17:00 CEST
SPEAKER(S): Markus Scheidgen, Lauri Himanen
LOCATION: Online

NOMAD is a research data management platform for materials science. NOMAD Oasis allows you to operate the popular NOMAD service for your own lab, with your rules, and on your resources. You can adopt NOMAD Oasis to implement your institutes data policies and to work with your specific data types and workflows.

This tutorial aims to introduce participants to the new plugin mechanism in NOMAD and teach them how to develop and integrate their own Python schemas and parsers to a NOMAD Oasis. Plugins enable you to alter how NOMAD processes data and therefore allow for more powerful customisations than the custom schemas presented in past tutorials. Participants will learn how to enable the conversion of new materials science data formats into NOMAD's standardised and machine-readable format. NOMAD plugins can be contributed to the community to further promote reproducibility and transparency in materials science.

FAIRmat Tutorial 8: Using NOMAD as an Electronic lab notebook (ELN) for FAIR data
Tutorial
DATE: March 15, 2023 TIME: 14:00-17:00 CEST
SPEAKER(S): Sebastian Brückner, Andrea Albino, Florian Dobener, Hampus Näsström, José Marquez
LOCATION: Online

Approaching the era of big data-driven materials science, one crucial step to collecting, describing, and sharing experimental data is the adoption of electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN). At present, most synthesis data are not structured comprehensively , but FAIRmat is offering a solution by developing and operating the open-source software NOMAD. 

In this tutorial, we demonstrate the usage of NOMAD as an ELN which enables the users to generate data following the FAIR principles. We will show how we adopted NOMAD to capture data from synthesis and experiment and make use of an automated data workflow.
