On 2nd May 2022, 10am – 3pm, the team Standards, Data Quality and Curation (Task Area 2) of the NFDI4Culture consortium hosts its second public virtual forum. The event focuses on frequently occurring problems and questions around data quality in the context of research. Thereby, concrete project scenarios and applications from the fields of art, musicology, media and theatre studies serve as a starting point for an open discussion. The aim of this desired exchange is to raise awareness about when and where challenges around research data quality may occur and how they can be addressed.
Ensuring data quality is a fundamental value of good scholarly practice, with the scientific communities ideally setting and monitoring specific quality requirements themselves. As defining, implementing, reviewing, and improving data quality are ongoing tasks, they are particularly difficult to put into practice for research endeavors that are limited in time and budget. From the perspective of concrete projects and with a view on working digitally in the field of cultural studies, stakeholders will shed light on these challenges as well as their approaches to solving them. In this regard, the spectrum of challenges includes ensuring quality during data collection, the use of standardised data, the (further) development of suitable vocabularies and data models as well as data mapping processes. These insights shall then lead to a joint discussion on aspects of sensible quality control as well as on institutionalised quality management that goes beyond individual projects, including what structural framework would be needed.
