Current Projects
Jena Data Center (JDC) The Jena Data Center (JDC) at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is a conglomerate of data repositories belonging to various small to mid-scale biodiversity and ecological projects, that are using BEXIS2 research data management tool. The aim of the data centre is to provide F.A.I.R principles-based data and ensure long-term preservation and availability along with its high-quality descriptive metadata, to facilitate open science and biodiversity conservation. As part of the long-term preservation objective, after the completion of the project tenure, the data centre will integrate the associated BEXIS2 based data repositories within the Jena data centre e-infrastructure so as to ensure the data is available… Read More | |
![]() | NFDI4Biodiversity- A Consortium for the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) NFDI4BioDiversity is a consortium of 49 partners dedicated to deliver practical tools for researchers and improve data availability for environmental studies/ecology. We are part of a greater network within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), which is funded through a 10-year-programme of the Joint Science Minister Conference in Germany (GWK). To know more about the NFDI4Biodiversity project click here Objectives To foster access to interoperable data, NFDI4BioDiversity focuses on the following six objectives: Promoting research data management as an integral part of biodiversity research Enabling FAIRness of data Consolidating FAIRness with quality Embedding NFDI4BioDiversity into the (inter-)national landscape Addressing NFDI-wide… Read More |

![]() | iDiv- Biodiversity Informatics Unit (BDU) The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) funded by the German Research Foundation (DGF), is a hub for international biodiversity science whose central mission is to promote theory-driven synthesis and data-driven theory. The concept of iDiv encompasses detection and quantification of biodiversity, understanding its existence and emergence, exploring it’s consequences for ecosystem functions and services, and developing new strategies to safeguard biodiversity. No single institution – not even a whole generation of scientists – possesses the intellectual capacity to exploit the potential of the data it generates and assembles. Without efficient data storage and sharing within iDiv, between iDiv and the outside,… Read More |
![]() | Managing Multimedia Data for Science (MAMUDS) The MAMUDS (Managing Multimedia Data for Science) is a two year BMBF funded project under the German-Tunisian Science and Technology Cooperation Research Project. The main aim of the project is to develop a multimedia data management platform for biodiversity domain, which will be later integrated with the open source research data management software BEXIS 2. The objectives of the project are- (1) to develop multimedia data management platform for specimens’ images from the herbarium Hausskneckt in FSU Jena, (2) extract diagnostic characters and select functional traits using image recognition methods and (3) annotate plant specimen images using extracted diagnostic characters… Read More |
