How can we connect research data from different research domains, scales and types? Using research data management (RDM) frameworks developed by DataPLANT, we demonstrate the harmonization of research data for plant and agricultural sciences based on actual use cases from FAIRagro. The annotated research context (ARC) serves as the central concept for data and metadata packaging in both domains..

Electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) have become increasingly popular in research institutes and research groups. However, there is not one-size-fits-all solution. [...]

From FAIR principles to practice, we present an experience report on designing and implementing an institute-wide research data management strategy and policy at the Institute for Combustion Technology, RWTH Aachen University. With about 25 PhD students and postdocs across simulations, experiments, and modeling, we initially lacked a unified process amid the use of diverse tools and various individual solutions [...]
