Ein ideales #FDM #rdm Team könnte aus #RSEng (research software engineers), #informationscience Menschen und #librarians bestehen. Dann wären viele (alle?) relevanten Fähigkeiten vereint, um die Forschung gut zu unterstützen.

Und da es so viel Potential für #fdm gibt, sollte es genug Karrierewege für Nichtforschende geben.

Vorausgesetzt der Wille für Personalinfrastruktur ist da.

#isi2025 Idee: Die Informationswissenschaften wären super geeignet, um zu zeigen, warum und wie Forscher #fdm betreiben.

#fdm ist anspruchsvoll. Die Frage ist halt: warum? Wann machen #rdmp Freude oder Frust?

So langsam bekomme ich ein Gefühl, womit sich #informationscience auseinander setzt.

Auch: Es klingt so durch, als ob die Disziplin Nachwuchssorgen (Lehrstühle/Ressourcen) hat.

#digitalhumanities goes #informationscience at #isi2025 #isi25 #Chemnitz! Morgen gibt es auch eine Panel Diskussion dazu; jetzt aber erst einmal Kaffee ️️️ #DHinaMug

For the second time, I teach "Introduction to Open Data" at HES-SO / Haute école de gestion de Genève this semester. Since it covers both Open Research Data and Open Government Data, it made sense to... make the course materials open.

I've rebuilt the site using #Quarto: https://julsraemy.ch/intro-open-data

It's a 16-hour course for Information Science undergrads. Yes, that's also a bachelor's degree in some countries in Europe!
