GATE's first research meeting

The GATE Research meeting laid out the first steps toward the 2025 GATE Report, supporting the Open Science community through continuous knowledge exchange. The GATE team met the experts Daniel Mietchen (FIZ Karlsruhe), Tim Errington (COS), and Bernhard Thalheim (Kiel University) to explore how data collected by GATE could contribute to an actionable, community-driven GATE Report.

Tim Errington (COS)

As part of the meeting, Tim Errington proposed using qualitative data, both existing and from literature, to explore Open Science themes and relationships without imposing a strict top-down taxonomy. This approach respects the diversity of Open Science experts and aims to provide a deeper understanding of themes in Open Science through continuous engagement.

Daniel Mietchen (FIZ Karlsruhe)

GATE expert Daniel Mietchen introduced ideas for formalising data using advanced methods such as knowledge graphs and nanopublications (e.g. RIO Journal), enhancing comparability and machine readability. He advocated using diverse, controlled vocabularies and proposed structured responses in GATE services to simplify data processing.
