Data Challenge Data Structuring - Cheat Sheet!

We had a great time hosting our very first Data Challenge on the topics of Metadata and data structuring on November 7th at the University of Cologne!

The group of participants constisted of several ambitious early career researchers from Cologne, Jülich, Essen, Aachen, and even Marburg! After a short theoretical input on Metadata and Data Structuring we started the challenge. Participants were provided with an unsorted and very diverse data set and paired in groups to come up with a manual, or automated solution for File naming, and sorting to in the end, find a certain file.

For everyone who did not take part in the challenge we want to share some useful tips for file naming and data structuring. Download our ultimate data structuring cheat sheet using the link below!
