The MACRAMÉ Project was invited to give evidence to the 5th Stakeholder Workshop on ‘Safe & Sustainable by Design’, hosted by the European Commission on the 5. and 6. December 2024 in Brussels.
Based on the feedback that the MACRAMÉ Project had provided during the second testing period, the Project was invited to present its work on ‘Instance Maps'(AKA ‘Study Design Maps’), which are spear-headed by 7P9, an young start-up based in Slovenia and Germany.
The Instance Maps are used both for the planning of R&I activities, the full traceability of responsibilities for samples and results within the complex MACRAMÉ R&I workflow, and the tracing of samples that the MACRAMÉ Project is taking directly from the life-cycle of its five Use-Cases to both characterise and test them.
More information about MACRAMÉ’s instance maps are available here:
- MACRAMÉ Data Shepherding – an Approach to the centralised Management of Research Information & Knowledge (June 1, 2023)
- MACRAMÉ Data Shepherding Part 2– Harmonisation towards a common Data Schema (January 18, 2024)
- Instance Maps as organising Concepts for complex experimental Workflows (April 23, 2024)
7P9 is now also the coordinator of the PINK Project, which started in January 2024 and will surpass the MACRAMÉ Project by two years; 7P9 was thus able to end its presentation with an outlook on how the Instance Maps are being extended to cover the provenance trail of a material, with a view to ultimately arriving at an ecosystem for the management of different data objects.
