Description

LEIbits is a project created as a part of the inaugural GO FAIR Foundation Fellowship with support from the GO FAIR Foundation, Leiden University, and Knowledge Pixels.

The project aims to use Nanopublications as a means for researchers (from Leiden, other institutions, or the public) to (1) declare the existence of a research project, (2) register where research data are deposited, and (3) make a small statement about the research – and all with only a maximum of three key minimal metadata entries each with optional additions, such as domain and funding source.

By participating in LEIbits, researchers are communicating research knowledge in an easy-to-use, easy-to-replicate, FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) way, while contributing to a distributed network that allows querying across repositories, making data and research more discoverable.

Abstract (English)

Researchers spend the majority of their time twofold – producing output and then looking for the output of others to, in turn, help them produce more output. For both of these activities, computers assist. Unfortunately, the latter activity is a challenge because information produced through research is often hard for the computer to understand; computers like structured information to provide meaningful knowledge. Therefore, the more structured research output is, the better computers can help with research. LEIbits is a lean approach to self-reporting research findings in a structured way so that you can more easily keep track, find, use, and share them with the help of the computer.
