HilData – HILDEonline, University of Hildesheim Foundation

The beauty of HILDEonline is the interdisciplinarity of educational studies!

The lesson recordings promote the transfer of knowledge between the subject didactics and with the subject and educational sciences.

Maintain research and teaching data in a searchable manner

The challenge for research data management (RDM) is that data must be provided in a structured manner and available online - but due to the sensitivity of the content, it can only be made available to a limited group of researchers in password-protected data pools. At the same time, the FAIR criteria (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) should be met dam research data can, if possible, be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.

HilData and HILDEonline

Since 2017, the Hildesheim University Library has been operating an easydb instance, which is used as a central service under the name HilData for research data management, collection management and for classic image management in teaching.

The HilData system enables data to be uploaded and stored on the university's servers. There are advanced search functions for quick retrieval and detailed rights management for access control and approval. HilData is used to manage, describe and index data.

In the HILDEonline case archive, which HilData uses, lesson recordings and associated supporting materials are made available. The aim of these video recordings of lessons is to network various didactic issues. These promote the transfer of knowledge between subject didactics and with the specialist and educational sciences.

The requirements for implementing the FAIR criteria are met by easydb , but for HilData at Hildesheim University Library they are still in the concept phase. DOI assignment is also possible with easydb and will be implemented further.
