Yoda hands-on workshop
2026-04-22 09:30 - 15:30 UTC | SURF Utrecht, Moreelsepark 48, Utrecht, 3511 EP, Netherlands
This workshop will provide you with the knowledge you need to make your research data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). You will experience the typical workflows for handling data and metadata in Yoda, an integral support tool for the whole data life cycle.
What will you learn in this training?
After completion of this tutorial, you will be able to:

Explain the importance of metadata and its relation to the dataset
Demonstrate how to search for datasets in Yoda
Explain the difference between the Research area and the Vault area in Yoda
Demonstrate how to include useful metadata in Yoda
Show how to upload data in Yoda
Operate the cycle of securing, retrieving, and updating data independently in Yoda (including in the connected tape archive)
Operate the cycle of securing data supervised by a data steward in Yoda
Demonstrate how to check metadata and approve submissions to Yoda Vault

For whom?
Anyone, including researchers and data stewards, who wants to learn to manage research data in an efficient and scalable way using Yoda.
