ARC²: Annotated Research Context & Annotated RO-Crate

Key Points

The study aims to present the ARC² framework for organizing research data and enhancing data interoperability.
Developed a lightweight file- and folder-based scaffold for organizing data and metadata.
Implemented a standards-compliant RO-Crate representation for machine-actionable publication.
Utilized the ISA model and Common Workflow Language to unify experimental and computational provenance.
ARC² enables structured, FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), and interoperable data descriptions.
The framework's modular design emphasizes accessibility for researchers across various disciplines.

Abstract

Presentation given at the Ontologies4Chem Workshop 2025. Abstract:The ARC² framework (Annotated Research Context and Annotated RO-Crate) introduces a declarative, provenance-driven approach to describing research data through the processes that generate them. ARC combines a lightweight file- and folder-based scaffold for organizing data and metadata with a standards-compliant RO-Crate representation for machine-actionable publication. Building on the ISA model and Common Workflow Language, it unifies experimental and computational provenance in a consistent, semantically rich format. Through its modular design and supporting tools, ARC makes structured, FAIR, and interoperable data description accessible to researchers across disciplines.
