NFDI-MatWerk: Participant Projects & Infrastructure Use Cases

This document includes the complete list and descriptions of the Participant Projects (PPs) and related Infrastructure-Use-Cases (IUCs) the consortium NFDI-MatWerk referred to within its proposal. For the NFDI-MatWerk proposal, refer to https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5082837.

Methodically, the consortium proceeded by identifying so-called Participant Projects within its research community. PPs represent the heterogeneity of this research domain in all its facets. They usually face diverse but recurring challenges in the context of research data management from a user or scientist's perspective. Such challenges, resulting from the PPs, were accumulated to shape the so-called Infrastructure-Use-Cases (IUCs). For this end, the consortium identified recurring technological user needs from the PPs and isolated them into individually necessary functionalities of the aimed research data management infrastructure for NFDI-MatWerk.

The consortium plans to reiterate this process as the project starts, to manage a continuous integration and feedback-loop from a strict user-centered perspective and thus ensure relevance of the developed solutions.
