Welcome to this week’s News Digest. Step-by-step, I try to improve and extend this weekly overview. This time I changed the structure a little bit. Each part will now start with a very short introduction where the news comes from, and the uploads to Zenodo are now directly attached to the news. I hope, this makes everything clearer, and you can find what you are interested in faster.
FAIRmat
FAIRmat is the FAIR Data Infrastructure for Condensed-Matter Physics and the Chemical Physics of Solids, a consortium of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Newsletter
The latest newsletter by FAIRmat was published and can be found here. As always with the newsletters, there is too much content to repeat it in this short news digest, and some things we have already covered in the past. It is definitely worth checking out. There seems to be quite some development of optimizing NOMAD for catalysis, in cooperation with NFDI4Cat, and there are some very interesting interviews with people from FAIRmat but also users perspectives.
Zenodo
FAIRmat has uploaded all their past FAIRmat Tutorials to the FAIRmat Zenodo Community, before the videos were only available on YouTube. Below you can find the link to the latest tutorial.

NFDI4Chem
NFDI4Chem is the Chemistry consortium for the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
National Infrastructures on an international stage
A week ago, NFDI4Chem attended the 9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress in Dublin and has now published an article, which you can read here. In cooperation with PSDI they organized a symposium on FAIR Data for Chemistry: National Infrastructures, Standards, Tools and Resources. In the news digest of last week, we already saw the slides of the symposium, which were published by PSDI.
IUPAC InChI moves to GitHub
There are different ways of translating a structure of a molecule into a string, and InChI is one of them. The latest version was now, for the first time, published to GitHub. You can read more about it here.
Zenodo
A new version of the metadata schema for cyclic voltammetry, as used in LabIMotion, was published, together with three converter profiles. With the help of the converter profile, the output if different instruments can be automatically converted to the metadata schema published.

NFDI4Earth
NFDI4Earth is the Consortium Earth System Sciences of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Zenodo
The slides from a presentation in May about NFDI4Earth Label as well as NFDI4Earth Service Catalogue were just uploaded. The first one is all about improving repositories in the Earth System Science and the later one is a collection of all NFDI4Earth services. Check it out.

PUNCH4NFDI
PUNCH4NFDI is the Particles, Universe, NuClei and Hadrons for the NFDI consortium of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Base4NFDI service nfdi.software
PUNCH4NFDI is reporting on the newly funded Base4NFDI service nfdi.software, where PUNCH4NFDI is actively contributing. Check out their article if you want to know more about Base4NFDI and the new service.
Zenodo
Slides from a presentation about citizen science in data-intensive physics were uploaded. It is an update on the latest developments and future plans.

Outro
That was it for today, I hope you like the new look? Feel free to let me know in the comments. With this I thank you for reading this news digest and see you next week!
