abstract = {Base4NFDI (Basic Services for the National Research Data
Infrastructure) is a central, cross-cutting project within
the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Its
mission is to develop, coordinate, and provide fundamental,
community-driven basic services that can be shared, reused,
and continuously improved across all NFDI consortia and
beyond. By building and maintaining common infrastructures,
standards, and interfaces, Base4NFDI aims to foster a
sustainable, interoperable, and open research data ecosystem
in Germany. Acting as a coordinating hub, it connects
disciplinary and institutional efforts, thereby enhancing
coherence, efficiency, and innovation in research data
management nationwide.Through its activities, Base4NFDI
provides targeted funding for the development and operation
of basic services that enable the practical implementation
of the FAIR principles, ensuring that research data is
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Among
these funded basic services are:• IAM4NFDI, an identity
and access management system that provides secure and
consistent access to research data and services across
consortia,• PID4NFDI, a persistent identifier service that
ensures research data can be uniquely referenced, reliably
cited, and remain discoverable over the long term,•
Jupyter4NFDI, an interactive platform that allows
researchers to access, analyze, and share data in a
FAIR-compliant manner, supporting reproducible and
transparent research workflows.By funding these basic
services, Base4NFDI establishes the necessary technical,
organizational, and legal frameworks to make research data
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. At the
same time, these services provide a sustainable
infrastructure that extends beyond individual consortia and
strengthens collaboration across the broader research
landscape.Moreover, Base4NFDI applies the FAIR principles to
its own development processes and outputs. All basic
services are transparently documented, openly accessible,
and co-designed with the research community. By using open
standards, interoperable interfaces, and open-source
technologies, Base4NFDI ensures that its services can be
integrated across disciplines and institutions.In doing so,
Base4NFDI plays a crucial role in linking research
communities, overcoming data silos, and establishing
sustainable, FAIR-aligned research data practices throughout
Germany. By pooling expertise, infrastructure, and
governance, it lays the groundwork for researchers in all
domains to manage, share, and reuse their data according to
the FAIR principles—paving the way for a more open,
transparent, and collaborative scientific ecosystem.},
