The Special Interest Group Data Infrastructure provides a forum for interested working groups wishing to establish or further develop an RDM infrastructure at working group or institute level. We invite you to a monthly SIGDIUS seminar, to which we invite internal and external experts for presentations and discussions. SIGDIUS members will have the opportunity to exchange their experiences with concrete RDM infrastructures.
We cordially invite all interested parties to our next meeting on 10 January 2024 at 2:00 p.m. For participation, please send an e-mail to Juergen.Pleiss@itb.uni-stuttgart.de
This seminar will be held as an online seminar with talks from:

The OpenFOAM Journal: An initiative from and for the community
The OpenFOAM community traditionally turns to conventional physics journals to share ongoing advancements. However, due to their broad scope, these publications often omit technical implementation details. Although international OpenFOAM meetings and local user gatherings attempt to address this gap, time constraints frequently impede comprehensive information sharing. Furthermore, these events have limited reach. To bridge these informational voids and to provide a dedicated platform for the OpenFOAM community, The OpenFOAM Journal has been established with the endorsement of the OpenFOAM Governance and Steering Committee. Accessible at https://journal.openfoam.com, this journal is an exclusively electronic, open access, and free to publish platform that emphasises two primary keystones: reproducibility of results and benefit to the community. It encompasses three distinct sections – Full Papers, Technical Notes and Review Papers – with special issues linked to community gatherings. Each publication features an associated discussion forum, fostering interaction between readers and authors to increase the overall impact of contributions. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide comprehensive details that ensure the reproducibility of published information, such as source code, validation and verification data (including experimental results), case and mesh dictionaries, and/or video abstracts. The journal employs a double-blind peer review process, which preserves anonymity of authors and reviewers. Initial community feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, boasting more than 7000 followers on LinkedIn. In alignment with the ethos of open source principles, The OpenFOAM Journal stands as a community initiated and community driven project that is expected to significantly augment the dissemination of knowledge associated with the OpenFOAM computational library.

MetaConfigurator: A GUI for managing data and their schemata
Textual data-structuring formats such as JSON, XML and YAML are widely used to structure data in a variety of domains, from configuration files to research data. However, managing and modifying data in these formats can be challenging and time-consuming without tool support. To address this problem, we present MetaConfigurator: an innovative web application that generates its GUI depending on a given JSON schema. Our approach differs from other schema-to-UI approaches in three key ways: 1) it provides a unified view that combines the benefits of both GUIs and code editors, 2) it enables schema editing within the same tool, and 3) it supports advanced schema features, including conditions and constraints. In this talk, we present our tool and the results of a small-scale user study.
