Workshop Aims and Scope

------------------------------------------------------

DaMaLOS explores requirements for research digital objects (e.g., data,
software, workflows, ro-crates) and their corresponding management plans to
effectively instantiate an integrated layer supporting Linked Open Science
(i.e., Open Science plus Linked Open Data). DaMaLOS welcomes contributions
aligned to the following topics: machine-actionable DMPs and SMPs;
machine/deep learning approaches around rich metadata; FAIRification; FAIR
by design; FAIR tooling; recognition, publication, and citation for data,
software, and other research digital objects, and scientometrics beyond the
scholarly publication (i.e., combining the different digital objects
playing a role in the research cycle).

------------------------------------------------------

Workshop Topics

-------------------------------------------------------

   -

   Research management
   -

      Importance, automatization, and connections across Research Data and
      Software (and other digital objects) Management for Linked Open Science
      (LOS, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data principles)
      -

      Special features/metadata required in research management plans for
      LOS
      -

      Extensions to current RDM plans to better support LOS
      -

   FAIRness and FAIRification
   -

      Integration/alignment between FAIR and research management plans
      -

      FAIRification processes, either by design or post-research-object
      creation
      -

      FAIR tooling, e.g., evaluators, extensions, governance
      -

   Open Science and Scientometrics
   -

      Benefits of LOS over Open Science
      -

      How research plans and LOS can be used to improve collection and
      storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
      -

      Integration of software, data, and other research outcomes into
      science-related metrics
