Description
In today’s research facility’s landscape, experimental data management, metadata catalogue and access are playing a vital role on enabling the full research lifecycle, allowing the users communities and scientific institutions to collaborate, transfer and share data on a well-defined collaborative platform.
Following the community best practices on delivering and exporting data, SESAME is implementing the Data Portal with key services to authenticate, access, organize and sharing experimental data to researchers. Collaboratively a decision was taken by the Scientific Computing group at SESAME to consider the metadata catalogue service namely ICAT, this solution has a good reputation based on its wide use in many research labs as an open-source solution, further this step will foster and drive the SESAME data policies adaptation and assure compliancy with the FAIR data principles.
This paper explains the ingestion journey and workflow of SESAME Experimental Data (SED) to the ICAT metadata catalogue service, this process always starts on an early stage at the call for proposal (CFP) at SESAME user portal (SUP), data generated per beamtime are in compliance with the Data acquisition system standards and stored on the short-term storage (STS) and moved and archived on Long-term Storage (LTS) at a later stage.
Data portal service is a fully integrated user experience with SESAME research infrastructure subsystems, it ensures smooth delivery of data management, browsing and access and with some helpful plugins such as H5web view and E-logbook. The current development is executed with the support of The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and the EU project BEATS, and current challenges and future enhancement will be addressed as well as lessons to learn.
