EOSC Symposium 2024 Unconference Session: No Data Without Software!

Beschreibung

Research software is pivotal for long-term archival of research data especially for reproducibility and reuse. By offering this workshop, the importance of supportive infrastructure wrt. software becomes visible. Moreover, there is a need to strengthen the discussion about the specific profile of software wrt. long-term preservation and its later use. The interactive discussion will help not only to understand the concepts but also the design of services, tools and infrastructures that support scientific processes in a more user-centric approach.

In a short introductory presentation, the audience will dive into two topics: (1) the role of software in scientific processes and (2) the profile of software and development processes required to achieve reproducibility and reuse of related research data. This will include describing semantically the research process, archiving software and reopening time capsules after a long period. While guiding through these topics, an interactive format will be used to give the audience the possibility to talk about existing experiences and pain points from (not) using long-archiving infrastructure. Lowering barriers, involving as many perspectives as possible from various scientific fields, could help to gather requirements and sharpen the idea of a supportive research environment. The goal is to refine the needs for sustainable research software development within and across scientific disciplines and to elaborate on related future infrastructure and methodological developments by reflecting on these needs.
