At the #IOER_FDZ, we have been thinking about ways to improve the production of scientific knowledge and contribute solutions to the #reproducibility crisis.
One initiative that we are now sharing with the wider scientific community is #Carto-Lab Docker, a computational environment for the #spatial sciences built on a versioned, reproducible Docker container stack that enables FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). @mcnesium and I started developing it seven years ago. Having moved to version v.1.0.0, the software now left its beta phase and became an official research infrastructure component of the IOER-FDZ. (🚀@ Marc!)
It includes pre-configured, environments for #open-source #cartography in #Python and #R, and has been designed to support transparent geospatial data analysis and sound publication practices in science.
Firstly, Carto-Lab Docker bundles existing open-source software together with #Jupyterlab for easy deployment and use, reducing the barriers to good scientific practice and efficiently working in teams. It also encompasses critical training materials, documentation, and best-practice code to facilitate collaborative learning and incremental progress in research.
You can find the documentation at [1]. Users may also be interested in our NFDI4Biodiversity training materials [2], which were authored using Carto-Lab Docker and explain many of the underlying concepts. Developers and administrators can find our public container images in the Quay.io container registry [3]. Contributions and input are warmly welcomed on Github [4].
