Converter: Enhancing Interoperability in Research Data Management

 Research Data Management (RDM) is essential in handling and organizing data in the research field. The Berlin Open Science Platform (BOP) serves as a case study that exemplifies the significance of standardization within the Berlin University Alliance (BUA), employing different vocabularies when publishing their data, resulting in data heterogeneity. The meta portals of the NFDI4Cat and the NFDI4DataScience project serve as additional case studies in the context of the NFDI initiative.
    To establish consistency among the harvested repositories in the respective systems, this study focuses on developing a novel component, namely the \textit{converter}, that breaks barriers between data collection and various schemas. With the minor modification of the existing Piveau framework, the development of the converter, contributes to enhanced data accessibility, streamlined collaboration, and improved interoperability within the research community.
