Research data management and infrastructures for visualization, analysis and sustainable software development
Principal investigator: Raimund Vogl
Project number: CRC 1450 INF
Project term: 01/2021–12/2024

We aim to establish a WWU cloud-based storage platform and database and implement research data management workflows from ingest to long-term availability (1). We will provide a close integration with the central WWU HPC for compute-intensive data analysis, especially for machine learning (2). In addition, we will establish a state-of-theart GitLab/DevOps software development environment to accommodate a common framework architecture for the visualization and analysis methods developed and used in the CRC to ensure their sustainability, reuse and transferability (3).
Finally, we will create a unifying visualization environment and focus on user experience (UX), easy and secure data sharing, performance-optimized remote computing and assisted report generation (4).
