NFDI4Culture Metadata API
Metadata of all resources as Linked Open Data
The NFDI4Culture portal offers all content as Linked Open Data over this RESTful API. The API implements the Hydra-Specification of the W3C Hydra Community Group. The semantic description of this API can be retrieved by clients via the Hydra documentation file (JSON). Each metadata record offered via this API can also be retrieved in one of following machine-readable LOD serializations. The API is the basis for the Culture Research Information Graph, which together with the Culture Research Data Graph forms the Culture Knowledge Graph (for more details see this presentation).

From museums, university institutes, art and music colleges, academies, galleries, libraries and archives to individual researchers: Work with and on research data on tangible and intangible cultural assets takes place in many contexts and is manifold. The education and training needs of the various actors in the field of research data management (RDM) are correspondingly diverse and at the same time specific. While there is no shortage of general and non-specialist RDM offerings that cover only part of those needs in terms of content, there exists a particular lack of tailored trainings for individual NFDI4Culture communities. The Cultural Research Data Academy (CRDA) of NFDI4Culture aims to bridge this gap and react to concrete needs. Two examples from the field of musicology show in which way customized offers are created in close dialogue with the communities:
At the end of 2021, the IAML-DE (International Association of Music Librarians Germany) approached the CRDA team with the need for a training course. The training should not only include foundational knowledge about research data management, but also be attuned to the needs of music librarians. In tight cooperation with representatives of IAML-DE, the CRDA developed an online course, which was conducted by the CRDA team in February 2022 with 50 participants. Afterwards, the participants expressed their appreciation for the inspiring overview character and the broad range of content of the event and expressed their ideas and suggestions for further events of this kind.
In May 2023, the German Historical Institute in Rome engaged the CRDA to develop a course in English for the international musicology community. The course inteded to provide basic and technical instructions on how to use MEI (Music Encoding Initiative), an encoding of music notation prevalent in most musicological research and edition projects.
Owing to the excellent ties of the CRDA with the musicology community, an expert in working with and developing MEI (Mark Saccomano) was engaged as a lecturer via the ViFE (Virtual Research Network Edirom). Organized within a short period of time, the course was executed as a two-part online event in the summer of 2023 with participants from the USA and Italy. In their feedback, the participants particularly emphasized the precise tailoring of the content of the event to their needs as well as the intensive support during the course.
