Summary
This episode of EXARC Showcase highlights not one but two projects EXARC members are currently involved in. Your hosts are Matilda Siebrecht and Jess Shaw.
The first is NFDI4Objects, a multidisciplinary consortium within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Its aim is to create an easy template to help experimenters structure their experiments and to ensure consistency and comparability between different experiments. To achieve this a workflow tool is developed that allows experimenters to build a visual representation of their experimental design. NFDI4Objects and the RETOLD Project have similar objectives. Roeland Paardekooper, one of the main partners in RETOLD, explains.
Guests

Roeland is founder of EXARC and currently manages the largest digitalization project in the German museum world.
Ilse is a re-enactor, forage guide and educator and a participant in The Wildbiome Project.
