Digital Materials Environment – An Architecture and Tools based on FAIR Digital Objects for the NFDI-MatWerk

The NFDI-MatWerk consortium, a part of the German National Research Data Infrastructure, focuses on serving the Material Science community. Within the consortium the Task Area Materials Data Infrastructure develops the Digital Materials Environment (DME) to offer access to data storage, sharing, searching, and analysis capabilities based on "off-the-shelf" and "enterprise ready" hardware and software building blocks. This presentation showcases the implementation of the DME through integrated platforms (Coscine and MatWerk Data Repository), tools for creating FAIR Digital Objects (FDO Maker), and exploration tools (FAIR-DOscope). These implementations align with the recommended FAIR Digital Objects concept by the RDA and the European Commission. By combining service offerings and installable applications, the FAIR principles can be effectively incorporated into existing research data infrastructures based on enterprise solutions. The results presented adhere to W3C standards and are currently undergoing evaluation within the participant projects of the NFDI-MatWerk consortium.
