- TS4NFDI
- For more information about this service, watch the NFDITalk: Terminology Services for NFDI (TS4NFDI) from January 22, 2024 on YouTube (Link).
- Terminology Service Suite is now published and ready to use: https://ts4nfdi.github.io/terminology-service-suite/comp/latest
- The TS4NFDI Service Team conducted an extensive survey together with the Base4NFDI Service Stewards in May and June 2024 to identify use cases and requirements from the consortia. The survey was aimed in particular at managers, developers and users from the terminology environment throughout the NFDI and reached over 70 participants from all NFDI consortia. The data is currently being evaluated and its outcome will be used to improve the user experience of the TS Suite.
- The team is currently writing an Integration Phase proposal for Aug 1 deadline.

- PID4NFDI
- Would you like to know more about this service? Watch the NFDITalk: PID4NFDI – Example Use Cases and Services for NFDI from Feb 19, 2024 on YouTube (Link).
- In April and May 2024, the PID4NFDI Service Team conducted a survey with the help of their Base4NFDI Service Stewards, to assess the status of PIDs and their substantial requirements within the consortia. It targeted providers and managers of research data infrastructures, received 47 responses and reached almost all consortia. At the moment, the team is analysing the data for qualitative and quantitative evaluation. The outcome will be used to further shape the vision and offerings of the PID4NFDI service. Next up, expert interviews with chosen use cases will be conducted.
- The service team is currently preparing the Integration Phase proposal for the Aug 1 deadline and will present updates during the Common Infrastructures section meeting on July 3. Register here to be part of the section or contact section speaker directly to be included.
