Grapevine and Wine Metabolomics-Based Guidelines for FAIR Data and Metadata Management.

ABSTRACT: In the era of big and omics data, good organization, management, and description of experimental data are crucial for achieving high-quality datasets. This, in turn, is essential for the export of robust results, to publish reliable papers, make data more easily available, and unlock the huge potential of data reuse. Lately, more and more journals now require authors to share data and metadata according to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. This work aims to provide a step-by-step guideline for the FAIR data and metadata management specific to grapevine and wine science. In detail, the guidelines include recommendations for the organization of data and metadata regarding (i) meaningful information on experimental design and phenotyping, (ii) sample collection, (iii) sample preparation, (iv) chemotype analysis, (v) data analysis (vi) metabolite annotation, and (vii) basic ontologies. We hope that these guidelines will be helpful for the grapevine and wine metabolomics community and that it will benefit from the true potential of data usage in creating new knowledge being revealed.

Project description:Abstract Background The life sciences are one of the biggest suppliers of scientific data. Reusing and connecting these data can uncover hidden insights and lead to new concepts. Efficient reuse of these datasets is strongly promoted when they are interlinked with a sufficient amount of machine-actionable metadata. While the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) guiding principles have been accepted by all stakeholders, in practice, there are only a limited number of easy-to-adopt implementations available that fulfill the needs of data producers. Findings We developed the FAIR Data Station, a lightweight application written in Java, that aims to support researchers in managing research metadata according to the FAIR principles. It implements the ISA metadata framework and uses minimal information metadata standards to capture experiment metadata. The FAIR Data Station consists of 3 modules. Based on the minimal information model(s) selected by the user, the “form generation module” creates a metadata template Excel workbook with a header row of machine-actionable attribute names. The Excel workbook is subsequently used by the data producer(s) as a familiar environment for sample metadata registration. At any point during this process, the format of the recorded values can be checked using the “validation module.” Finally, the “resource module” can be used to convert the set of metadata recorded in the Excel workbook in RDF format, enabling (cross-project) (meta)data searches and, for publishing of sequence data, in an European Nucleotide Archive–compatible XML metadata file. Conclusions Turning FAIR into reality requires the availability of easy-to-adopt data FAIRification workflows that are also of direct use for data producers. As such, the FAIR Data Station provides, in addition to the means to correctly FAIRify (omics) data, the means to build searchable metadata databases of similar projects and can assist in ENA metadata submission of sequence data. The FAIR Data Station is available at https://fairbydesign.nl.

Project description:BackgroundDescriptive metadata are vital for reporting, discovering, leveraging, and mobilizing research datasets. However, resolving metadata issues as part of a data management plan can be complex for data producers. To organize and document data, various descriptive metadata must be created. Furthermore, when sharing data, it is important to ensure metadata interoperability in line with FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. Given the practical nature of these challenges, there is a need for management tools that can assist data managers effectively. Additionally, these tools should meet the needs of data producers and be user-friendly, requiring minimal training.ResultsWe developed Maggot (Metadata Aggregation on Data Storage), a web-based tool to locally manage a data catalog using high-level metadata. The main goal was to facilitate easy data dissemination and deposition in data repositories. With Maggot, users can easily generate and attach high-level metadata to datasets, allowing for seamless sharing in a collaborative environment. This approach aligns with many data management plans as it effectively addresses challenges related to data organization, documentation, storage, and the sharing of metadata based on FAIR principles within and beyond the collaborative group. Furthermore, Maggot enables metadata crosswalks (i.e., generated metadata can be converted to the schema used by a specific data repository or be exported using a format suitable for data collection by third-party applications).ConclusionThe primary purpose of Maggot is to streamline the collection of high-level metadata using carefully chosen schemas and standards. Additionally, it simplifies data accessibility via metadata, typically a requirement for publicly funded projects. As a result, Maggot can be utilized to promote effective local management with the goal of facilitating data sharing while adhering to the FAIR principles. Furthermore, it can contribute to the preparation of the future EOSC FAIR Web of Data within the European Open Science Cloud framework.
