Organizing Committee
Christine Hennig, Sonja Schimmler NFDI4DS (Fraunhofer FOKUS); Thomas Koprucki, Burkhard Schmidt, Aurela Shehu, Karsten Tabelow MaRDI (WIAS) and the Weizenbaum Institute.

Scope
The NFDI_BB meetings aim at setting up a network of all the NFDI consortia located in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. This event will be the 3rd edition of this successful format connecting people from various backgrounds with a common mission.

There will be a mix of invited talks and demos from consortia and the community. Also, there will be plenty of room for discussions and networking.

As this is a community event we encourage you to participate actively and also propose your ideas and demos to us. Please let us know your ideas.

Scope
The NFDI_BB meetings aim at setting up a network of all the NFDI consortia located in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. At the successful kickoff meeting last October, the topic “Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs” was identified as a central task overarching the consortia, so that we will now dedicate ourselves to this topic. Particular focus will be on potential cooperation between the projects from consortia in different disciplines.

Agenda
During the morning session, the topic “Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs” will be presented in connection with the activities of the NFDI in several talks. In the afternoon session, we will continue with short presentations on ontology concepts of the individual NFDI consortia. These will then be further explored in interactive discussion formats.

Abstract
The second MaRDI Barcamp on research-data management in mathematics hosted by the Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI) will take place on October 20th 2023 at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg.

The event will provide a forum to exchange expertise and questions in the field of mathematics-specific research-data management and existing best practices. It is aimed at all researchers dealing with mathematical research data as well as at people from large mathematical research projects such as CRCs, priority programs or clusters of excellence.

What is a Barcamp? After short initial talks the topics are decided on by the participants. This means that the focus will be very specific to the research questions and needs of the attendees. Possible questions and topics we hope to address are: "What exactly does your community need?", "What works well and what doesn't?" or "How do young researchers or young projects implement 'good' RDM structures in the first place and what has proven successful?" We do not assume any prior knowledge with data management.

Registration is now open. Please register before October 8th if possible.

With any question or suggestions please contact Tabea Krause (tabea(dot)krause (at) math(dot)uni-leipzig(dot)de).

Scope
The NFDI_BB meetings aim at setting up a network of the 25 NFDI consortia located in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. The main goal of the first NFDI_BB meeting is to establish contacts between the members of the different consortia, as well as identifying common fields of interest. Particular focus will be on the mutual benefit cooperations between the projects from consortia in different disciplines. Further meetings should then follow approximately once per quarter.

Scope
Supported by the Bielefeld Center for Data Science (BiCDaS) and the Competence Center for Research Data at Bielefeld University MaRDI will host a Barcamp on research-data management in mathematics on July 4th 2023 at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) in Bielefeld.

Making research software FAIR and citable
There is growing acknowledgment that software constitutes a valid research output. As such, it must be made available under the FAIR Principles for Research Software (FAIR4RS). Software publication with rich metadata allows researchers to provide their software in such a way, thus enabling better reproducibility of research results obtained using software, more credit for research software creators through citation, and improved sustainability. Currently, FAIR software publication is not common practice due to a lack of incentives, of clearly defined processes, and of publication support through tools and infrastructures. This talk presents the context of, and practical approaches to, automated FAIR4RS software publication: improving citation metadata for research software with the Citation File Format, and automating software publication with rich metadata using the HERMES workflow for continuous integration systems.

Building research data services for the community
MaRDI is the Mathematical Research Data Initiative. Its goal is to contribute services and infrastructure for mathematical research data to the German National Research Data Infrastructure. Having started in 2021 now first services emerge that are supposed to easy the management of research data for mathematicians and scientists that use math. In this talk, we will introduce some of them and relate them to the overall goals of MaRDI.

MaRDMO - An RDMO plugin to document and query MSO Workflows using the MaRDI Knowledge Graph
The Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI) has set itself the goal of making information about mathematical objects, e.g. algorithms or models, available in a structured and easy-to-find manner in the form of a knowledge graph. The linking of all these objects with concrete research questions, input and output data, software and hardware is done in specific model-simulation-optimization workflows. To achieve reproducibility of these, often interdisciplinary, workflows, detailed documentation is required. For this purpose, a standardized workflow documentation template was developed in the MaRDI project, which can be completed by answering a simple questionnaire in RDMO. Workflows recorded in this way can be published directly on the MaRDI portal. In addition, central information of the documentations is integrated into the MaRDI Knowledge Graph. Next to the pure documentation of workflows, MaRDMO offers the possibility to retrieve existing workflows from the MaRDI Knowledge Graph in order to provide researchers with suggestions for future projects and to document workflows based on these suggestions. Thus, MaRDMO creates a community-driven knowledge loop that could help to overcome the replication crisis.

The MaRDI portal for mathematical research data
Mathematical research data (MRD), arising in many scientific fields, encompass widely different types of data and can be vast and complex, e.g., numerical data sets, mathematical expressions, algorithms, etc. The NFDI MRD Initiative (MaRDI) aims to define standards for MRD, to design verifiable workflows and to provide services to the scientific community. The services will be bundled in a web portal, allowing researchers to easily find and access mathematical research data, knowledge and services. In addition, the portal will offer storage capacities and host services for workflow and algorithm execution. At the core of the portal lies a mathematical knowledge graph which organizes and interconnects data from multiple sources. The main contribution of the portal is providing a unified entry point to access scattered and unconnected data. This talk gives an overview of the current status and planned features of the portal, and its value for the mathematical community.

Overview and discussion of the progress of math search technologies
The number of scientific publications containing mathematical expressions is immense and constantly growing. For example, zbMATH Open, the world's longest-running abstracting and review service for mathematical content, indexes over 160 million formulas. Mathematical formula search is a core technology for finding scientific documents where formulas are defined as input. Since the introduction of many mathematical search systems in the NTCIR Math-Task series from 2013, there have been further advances and implementations of formula search. In the first 15 minutes of our talk, we want to provide an overview of current methods of formula search and related applications. According to the FAIR principles, we will emphasize aspects of reusability and accessibility here. Then, for the next 10 minutes, we intend to reach out to the audience and have a lively discussion on the planned efforts and experiences of the community with formula search.
