Managing your data and metadata well is an important research skill. Good data management enables the preparation, handling, storing, sharing, and reuse of data. These attributes of good data management equates to efficient research and saving of time and resources. Data management tools, utilizing data standards and best practices can help to make your research data and models FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).

Aim
Multicellular spatial models have become an essential tool in quantitative biology and multiple model formalisms and simulation frameworks coexist. Progress towards software interoperability and reproducibility requires a novel model description language and conversion library, complementing SBML. Building on the community‘s practical experiences with multiple formalisms and simulators, we aim at (1) defining the concept for a multicellular language while simultaneously (2) exploring automated

The first Digital Salmon industry workshop raised awareness of the Digital Salmon vision and engaged major industry players in discussions on data sharing and reuse, guidelines and best practices for private-public collaboration. The workshop was a success, and a Digital Salmon working group was formed, comprising industry, academia and funding bodies. Its first task is to develop a white paper to be presented to the industry in summer of 2020.

During this 3-day course, attendees will learn basic techniques for modeling of biochemical networks including data access and storage due to the FAIR principles. The first day introduces kinetic modeling techniques which will be illustrated and exercised with COPASI. The second day continues with principles of stoichiometric and constraint-based modeling coupled with hands on exercises using CellNetAnalyzer. The third day SABIO-RK is used as a resource for kinetic data and FAIRDOMHub/SEEK is

Abstracts and posters from DigiSal for Digital Life 2018.

Our 2018 DigiSal project meeting is held as a satellite meeting of Digital Life 2018 (https://digitallifenorway.org/arrangementer/digitallife-2018).

Most of DS18 will be spent on breakout sessions to work on upcoming publications. Task leaders will prepare:

* Abstracts to DLN18. (Deadline was 15 Feb.) Presenting DigiSal progress here rather than at DS18 frees up time for the paper preparation sessions.

* Identify two papers in preparation, which will be worked on at DS18: Title, first and

The second project review meeting took place on May 24-25, 2016, at the University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg. This was a theory meeting between the team members to discuss research progress and plans for the project.

The kickoff meeting of CropClock team took place in November 12, 2014 at the Max Plank Institute (MPIPZ, http://www.mpipz.mpg.de/en), Kologne, Germany. The goal for this meeting was for the members of the various teams to get acquainted with each other’s expertise and to discuss the following items: 1) Logistics about the project start, 2) Data that need to be shared, 3) Matlab code that needs to shared among the teams.
The initial plan of action for data sharing was also laid out.

This event is a jointly organized Data Management PALs Meeting that involves PALs from the German LiSyM (Liver Systems Medicine) network and from the ERASysAPP (ERA-Net for Systems Biology Applications) initiative. PALs (Project Area Liaisons) are the front line experts of the data management teams of these projects. They act as data management advocates and help gathering user requirements and testing potential data management solutions. An important part of the meeting will be to gather the
