The aim of the workshop is to lay the foundation for a cooperation of users and vendors to work together on making ellipsometry data FAIR, i.e. Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-purposable. In this workshop, we will address especially the following topics:
- The need of data storage and accessibility.
- How to organize an efficient data exchange in the community and between research groups.
- How vendors can support the community and the FAIRmat project.
- Requirements of the application definitions or schemas for organizing meta data
- How to store data in a machine- as well as human-readable way.
