Atelier en ligne du CCQM: "Digital and FAIR Chemical and Biological Reference Data and Certificates: Challenges and Opportunities"

Topics

The workshop will cover three themes:

• Challenges with unique interoperable identifiers in the Chem/Bio area
• Digitalization of CRM certificates
• Best practice in developing databases for Chem/Bio data that meet FAIR principles

Registration

Online registration is via the workshop website at https://ccqmws2024.org.

Expected outcomes

• Challenges with unique interoperable identifiers in the Chem/Bio area
  • Gain understanding of the various options for unique interoperable identifiers for the measurands (within the scope of CCQM) that can cover both the component and matrix within the measurand description.
  • Gain understanding on how to integrate unique interoperable identifiers with the concept of broad scope CMCs.
  • Review the structure and use CMC service categories for Chemical/Biological CMCs for potential of implementing FAIR principles and relationship to the JCTLM and other databases.
  • Develop recommendations of what system(s) of unique interoperable identifiers should be used in both the KCDB and JCTLM databases (beyond the use of InCHI).

• Digitalization of CRM certificates
  • Gain understanding of the various options for producing and maintaining digital certificates and specific issues that need to be addressed for CRM certificates.
  • Gain understanding on how FAIR principles can be included in the production of digital CRM certificates. Understand the potential challenges within the scope of CCQM.
  • Gain understanding of the how digital representations of measurement procedures can be developed and linked to digital certificates, and how they would be disseminated to stakeholders.
  • Gain understanding of client expectations on uses, benefits and challenges of working with digital CRM certificates.
  • Gain understanding on the level of resources and infrastructure required to develop and maintain digital certificates.
  • Develop recommendations on options for NMIs wishing to implement Digital CRM certificates and adhere to FAIR principles.

• Best practice in developing databases for Chem/Bio data that meet FAIR principles
  • Gain understanding of the benefits and challenges to transitioning to the use databases for scientific data.
  • Gain understanding of applying FAIR principles to Database development. What are the benefits and challenges?
  • Gain understanding on examples of how FAIR principles have been applied to various databases, libraries, or any other data products.
  • Develop recommendations on key issues to be considered in database development and maintenance when wishing to apply FAIR principles.
