Webinar: KnowLedger: An Open Ecosystem for Research Data Management

Webinar: KnowLedger: An Open Ecosystem for Research Data Management

This hybrid seminar showcased the KnowLedger project that is currently in development. This seminar was presented Professor Stuart Chalk from the University of North Florida.

The recording of this webinar is now available on Youtube

Abstract

The KnowLedger project is about the creation of an ecosystem to support the varied and ever evolving needs of the scientific research community. As such, the project is focused on what needs to be built as part of the ecosystem (tools, protocols, services) and how should it be developed so that the research community is part of the team and can thus enable features they wish for a notebook to fit their research needs. This presentation will discuss the current approach on how to achieve KnowLedger, how researchers can get involved, and the timeline of the project. Attendees should think about the following question ‘What features would a research data management platform have for my research?’

Dr. Stuart J. Chalk is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Florida. Although trained as an analytical chemist, Dr. Chalk’s research now focuses on the areas of Chemical Informatics and Data Science. In particular, Dr. Chalk has projects focused on machine accessibility of solubility, online enhancements to the IUPAC Gold Book, automated extraction and annotation of chemical property data from PDF files, and scientific data models.

Dr. Chalk received an NSF funded grant in 2019 focusing on semantic integration of heterogeneous datasets from toxicology, medicine, materials, biodiversity, and chemistry. His latest project, “KnowLedger” a digital research notebook, was funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in June 2021.
