Last week

I presented the first part of my thesis at the ASPAR_KR conference.

There was limited discussion afterwards:

  • Unclearity about the motivation for FAIRDS.

  • Minimum information working group.

    • Suggested by Paul, Mike and Johanna.

Interest during the conference

  • Martin Weichert.

  • Jianhua Zhang.

Now we need to move forward

Most important thing in my opinion

Agreeing on minimal information templates.

Minimum information

Working group

  • Decision from experts.
  • Members
    • Bas.
    • Paul.
    • Mike.
    • \(\dots\)?

Developing ASPAR_KR with Jasper

see FAIRDS road map

Promoting the FAIRDS/ASPAR_KR

  • Meetings
    • Martin Weichert.
      Researching the resistance of many lab-isolates of Aspergillus.
    • Christopher Wandabwa.
      Researching metagenomes in fermented milk over geographical scales.
    • Do you know anyone else?

How will I accomplish this?

Timeline

Planning of the remainer of the thesis.

A note on incentives and use cases

Jasper told me that his programme can only be promoted with a “big stick”.

  • To work with the UNLOCK programme, you must use fairds.

  • After using FAIRDS people can make automated analyses.

How does this translate to our users?

  • Some authority could mandate the usage of FAIRDS/ASPAR_KR in collaborations.

  • An R package could be developed for most common analysis use cases and solve them automatically.

Questions?
