NFDI4DS Shared Tasks for Scholarly Document Processing

Shared tasks are powerful tools for advancing research through community-based standardised evaluation. As such, they play a key role in promoting findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), as well as transparent and reproducible research practices. This paper presents an updated overview of twelve shared tasks developed and hosted under the German National Research Data Infrastructure for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (NFDI4DS) consortium, covering a diverse set of challenges in scholarly document processing. Hosted at leading venues, the tasks foster methodological innovations and contribute open-access datasets, models, and tools for the broader research community, which are integrated into the consortium's research data infrastructure.

Research Knowledge Graphs in NFDI4DataScience: Key Activities, Achievements, and Future Directions

As research in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science continues to grow in volume and complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult to ensure transparency, reproducibility, and discoverability. To address these challenges, as research artifacts should be understandable and usable by machines, the NFDI4DataScience consortium is developing and providing Research Knowledge Graphs (RKGs). Building upon earlier works, this paper presents recent progress in creating semantically rich RKGs using standardized ontologies, shared vocabularies, and automated Information Extraction techniques. Key achievements include the development of the NFDI4DS ontology, metadata standards, tools, and services designed to support the FAIR principles, as well as community-led projects and various implementations of RKGs. Together, these efforts aim to capture and connect the complex relationships between datasets, models, software, and scientific publications.
