Overarching Data Management Ecosystem at HZDR

When dealing with research data management, researchers at Helmholtz-
Zentrum Dresden – Rossendorf (HZDR) face a variety of systems and tools. These
range from the project planning phase (proposal management, data management plans
and policies), over documentation during the experiment or simulation campaign, to the
publication (collaborative authoring tools, metadata catalogs, publication systems, data
repositories). In addition, modern research projects usually are required to interact with
a variety of software stacks and workflow management systems to allow comprehensi-
ble and FAIR science on the underlying IT infrastructure (HPC, data storage, network
file systems, archival). This article first demonstrates the data management systems
and services provided at HZDR, followed by an overview of a self-developed guidance
system. It is concluded by a real-world example.
