March 27th 09.00 – 09.30. The Research data insider – URGE: The easiest way to create a great ReadMe file for your dataset

The aim of FAIR research data and research data management is maximizing the reuse of data. Achieving this goal hinges on the clear and detailed documentation of both the data and its metadata to ensure datasets are easily understandable and reusable by researchers and end-users alike. It also requires an open scientific infrastructure, available for the global research community. A ReadMe plays a key role in this process by providing essential context and instructions for users. Data curators from The University of South-Eastern Norway have developed URGE – Universal Readme-file GEnerator to aid deponents in the process of making research data available

About the speakers: Dag-Even Torsøe is a Senior Librarian at the USN University Library and leader of the USN Research Data group.

Ali Abdurhman Kelil is a Senior Academic Librarian at the USN University Library. He works with research data curation and is the main idea developer of URGE.

Both have extensive and long-running experience with data curation and aim to further develop automated tools such as URGE, to make the curation process as smooth as possible.
