Documentation of (Relational) Databases
In many research projects, research data are stored in relational databases. To import data into a database and to document it for reuse, you need to describe the data using...
Learning Materials: The FAIR OER of NFDI4Objects
FAIR OER
The NFDI4Objects OER (Open Educational Resources) are learning modules covering topics addressed by the consortium. They are characterised by their free accessibility, clear licensing, and the possibility of reusing them in one’s own teaching activities and adapting them to individual needs. (For a definition of OER, see also UNESCO 2019.) The FAIR OER of NFDI4Objects therefore serve both as self-study resources and as teaching materials.
Our offering includes introductory materials, guides, tutorials, workflows, exercises, slide decks, workshop materials, and even complete courses combining different OER components.
The materials are developed and made available in collaboration with the NFDI4Objects Qualification Service.
They are based on the FAIR-OER-Templates also provided by NFDI4Objects.
OER Catalogue
A continuously growing collection of FAIR OER developed within NFDI4Objects can be accessed through this central catalogue.
