The guidance system HELIPORT aims to make the entire life cycle of a scientific project findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable according to the FAIR principles. In particular, our data management solution deals with the areas from the generation of the data to the publication of primary research data, the workflows carried out and the actual research results.

Intuitive and structured user interface

The clearly structured user interface of HELIPORT let's you easily create, manage and create scientific projects. In the future, a Knowledge Graph (KG) will help you find information from similar projects to compare and improve your methods and workflows with methods used in other projects.

Reproducible Workflows

With our integration of workflows we can automate computations dealing with metadata available in HELIPORT.

Digital Objects and Handles

Each object registered in HELIPORT can be equipped with a globally unique Persistant Identifier (PID) with the prefix 20.500.12865.

Multiple visibility levels

We know that not every data or piece of software can be made publicly available. Therefore, HELIPORT supports different levels of visibility for the digital objects of your project:

  • Open Access
  • Closed Access
Please note that the open access feature for digital objects is part of our Handle concept, which is still in development.

Integration of external systems

You want to use initial proposal metadata in your project? You can extend a HELIPORT instance with plugins to integrate external systems or services that are relevant in your institution.

Project Metadata

You want to register your software in your project? Use HELIPORT to integrate your software in your research experiment.

REST API

HELIPORT exposes a REST API which provides programmatic access to all incorporated systems. This allows for easy integration into your experiment's control software.
