The Special Interest Group Data Infrastructure offers a forum to interested working groups that want to set up 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 infrastructure.
We cordially invite all interested parties to our next meeting on 10 January 2024 at 2 pm. 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, these publications often omit technical implementation details due to their broad scope. 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 offer the OpenFOAM Community a dedicated platform, The OpenFOAM Journal was 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, emphasizing two primary keystones: results reproducibility and community benefit. It encompasses three distinct sections—Full Papers, Technical Notes, and Review Papers—while envisaging special issues tied to community gatherings. Each publication features an associated discussion forum, fostering interaction between readers and authors to magnify the overall impact of contributions. Authors are strongly encouraged to furnish comprehensive details ensuring 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, preserving anonymity between authors and reviewers. Initial community feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, boasting more than 7000 followers in LinkedIn. In alignment with the ethos of open-source principles, The OpenFOAM Journal stands as a community-initiated and community-driven project, expected to significantly augment the dissemination of knowledge associated with the OpenFOAM computational library.

MetaConfigurator: a GUI for managing data and their schemata
Textual formats to structure data, such as JSON, XML, and YAML, are widely used for structuring data in various 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, we introduce 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 offers 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 findings from a small-scale user study.
