NOMAD is part of the Dutch-German consortium FAIR Data Infrastructure (FAIR-DI), pillar A (www.fairdi.eu<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Active GO FAIR Implementation Network<\/strong>
\nThe Novel Materials Discovery (NOMAD) Laboratory maintains the largest worldwide repository for input and output files of all important computational materials science computer programs. Based on its open-access data, it builds several Big-Data Services helping to advance materials science and engineering by recognizing that data is a crucial raw material of the 21st century. The NOMAD Repository started in 2013 as a joint endeavour of the Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t Berlin and the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin, and then advanced into the NOMAD European Centre of Excellence (CoE), https:\/\/nomad-coe.eu, established in fall 2015 by bringing together eight research groups and four high-performance computing (HPC) centres. Now, NOMAD is making steps towards sustainability by starting a nonprofit association (a Berlin based \u201cgemeinn\u00fctziger eingetragener Verein (e.V.)\u201d). Pillar A of this e.V. covers 3 of the five NOMAD CoE components, i.e. the Repository (raw data), the Archive (normalized data), and the Encyclopedia (graphical user interface for the presentation of the data). This \u201cNOMAD Pillar\u201d formed the GO FAIR IN.<\/p>\n

Main purpose and objectives<\/strong>
\nSince all NOMAD facilities are meant to be available for many years we want to adopt the state-of-the-art methods in data organization and description. Therefore we want to make our systems FAIR compliant and not only apply current FAIR metrics but also contribute to their advancements.
\nTo implement the FAIR principles we will adopt the Digital Object model pushed ahead by the C2CAMP Implementation Network, i.e. we see GO FAIR as an excellent basis to interact with other INs and to contribute actively to progress towards a more stable domain of digital data.
\nGuiding Purpose: Increased Interoperability through the stepwise implementation of the FAIR principles where FAIR DMP tools, Digital Objects and other GO FAIR results will play a role.<\/p>\n

Objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Within GO FAIR NOMAD will present the state of the work and will apply FAIR metrics – once ready to us – to assess the FAIRness of its archive.<\/li>\n
  2. NOMAD is willing to act as an early test candidate for FAIRmetrics to help optimizing the guidelines.<\/li>\n
  3. NOMAD is eager to further develop its concepts together with other GO FAIR INs to achieve the coherence in data management and re-use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Main tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Aggregate relevant results in form of data (full input and output files of computational materials science studies) from different labs worldwide into the NOMAD Repository.<\/li>\n
    2. Cleansing and normalizing these data sets, assigning PIDs in form of DOIs and unified metadata descriptions – all to be stored in the NOMAD Archive.<\/li>\n
    3. Offer this archive to the interested materials-science community and beyond, based on free and open access.<\/li>\n
    4. Offer help & support and guidance via an Encyclopedia, a user forum, courses and seminars to interested users with the intention to also improve data practices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
