Metadata for file-level data access in decentral data networks

Problem

Fragmented, idiosyncratic data management results in non-interoperable data silos

Dataset landing page with access descriptions are not enough

Opportunity

Institutes hosting climate and neuroscience data @FZJ build a decentral network of independently hosted but interoperable data based on Forgejo (e.g., ATRIS.fz-juelich.de).

Pitch

Develop meta data schema on file-level data access (Basis: Open digital rights language (ODRL), concepts.datalad.org)

Extend data network and establish network of expertise

Seeking partners that:

Run a data portal AND want 3rd-party software implementations be able to retrieve specific dataset pieces for automated processing

Experience or interest in linkML & version control tools/services (Forgejo, git-annex, DataLad)
