Biomedical research projects deal with data management requirements from multiple sources like funding agencies' guidelines, publisher policies, discipline best practices, and their own users' needs. We describe functional and quality requirements based on many years of experience implementing data management for the CRC 1002 and CRC 1190. A fully equipped data management software should improve documentation of experiments and materials, enable data storage and sharing according to the FAIR Guiding Principles while maximizing usability, information security, as well as software sustainability and reusability.
We introduce the modular web portal software menoci for data collection, experiment documentation, data publication, sharing, and preservation in biomedical research projects. Menoci modules are based on the Drupal content management system which enables lightweight deployment and setup, and creates the possibility to combine research data management with a customisable project home page or collaboration platform.
Management of research data and digital research artefacts is transforming from individual researcher or groups best practices towards project- or organisation-wide service infrastructures. To enable and support this structural transformation process, a vital ecosystem of open source software tools is needed. Menoci is a contribution to this ecosystem of research data management tools that is specifically designed to support biomedical research projects.
生物医学研究项目涉及来自多个来源的数据管理要求，如资助机构的指南、出版商政策、学科最佳实践以及他们自己的用户需求。我们根据多年来为 CRC 1002 和 CRC 1190 实施数据管理的经验，描述了功能和质量要求。一个功能齐全的数据管理软件应该能够改进实验和材料的文档记录，根据 FAIR 指导原则实现数据存储和共享，同时最大限度地提高可用性、信息安全性以及软件的可持续性和可重用性。
我们介绍了模块化的 Web 门户软件 menoci，用于生物医学研究项目中的数据收集、实验文档管理、数据发布、共享和保存。menoci 模块基于 Drupal 内容管理系统，该系统允许轻量级部署和设置，并创建了将研究数据管理与可定制的项目主页或协作平台相结合的可能性。
研究数据和数字研究成果的管理正在从个别研究人员或小组的最佳实践向项目或组织范围的服务基础设施转变。为了能够支持和支持这一结构转型过程，需要一个开源软件工具的重要生态系统。menoci 是对专门为支持生物医学研究项目而设计的研究数据管理工具生态系统的贡献。
