FAIR WISH D3 - Assisting and Assessing User application of the FAIR SAMPLES Template

This document describes the deliverable D3 “Assisting and Assessing User application of the FAIR SAMPLES Template” of the project FAIR Workflows to establish IGSN for Samples in the Helmholtz Association (FAIR WISH) funded by the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC). Deliverable D3 is part of work package 3 “Domain-specific metadata for terrestrial and aquatic Geo-Bio samples (vegetation, sediment, water, rocks)”.

In D2 we provided an exemplary standardised, flexible and customisable metadata template for Geo-Bio samples (in short ‘FAIR SAMPLES Template’) for batch uploading sample-metadata to the IGSN server.

D3 includes a video tutorial with complementary visual and audio content on how to use the ‘FAIR SAMPLES Template’. D3 also contains a Usability questionnaire for receiving feedback on the application of the template. The feedback based on these Usability questionnaires and more future activities such as one-to-one interviews will form the main feedback for evaluating the usability of the FAIR SAMPLES Template and improve its applicability.

FAIR WISH is a joint project between the Helmholtz Centres GFZ, AWI and Hereon. It was was funded 2022-2023 by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association within the HMC Project Cohorte 2020 of the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration Platform HMC.
