📍 The data in #NOMAD are in structured metadata.

NOMAD turns raw files into FAIR data using parsers and schema plugins, as well as NOMAD Metainfo. NOMAD extracts machine-readable meaning, making data searchable, comparable, and reusable.

📍The data in #NOMAD are at the source.

Data start as raw, domain-native files exactly as produced by instruments and simulation codes. Nothing is changed and nothing is abstracted. This raw layer ensures reproducibility, provenance, and long-term archival.

Last week, we co-organized an RDM Workshop together with @nfdi4chem.de and DFG Research Unit ELSICS. Over two days, participants explored key #RDM topics, focusing on how to improve scientific workflows.
It was a great chance to showcase #NOMAD and strengthen ties with the research community.
