Project Description
The information infrastructure project INF set up the research data management of CIM. Its goal was to keep the simulation and analysis codes and the data behind CIM publications reproducible and accessible for at least ten years, following the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). The project was completed at the end of Phase 1 of CIM; the infrastructure remains available to all CIM members, and the data steward continues to support the projects. The main results are:- The CIM GitLab, where the simulation and analysis codes used in publications are stored, versioned and documented. The documentation of each publication is checked by a member of another CIM project.
- An S3 server for long-term archiving of key data, with up to 500 TB to be kept for at least ten years, including results from about 100 million CPU hours on supercomputers such as JUWELS (Jülich) and SuperMUC-NG (Garching).
- Regular training on research data management at the CIM General Assemblies and dedicated workshops on using the S3 storage.
- Close exchange with the national research data initiative PUNCH4NFDI and contributions to the university-wide RDM Network at RUB.
