INSTRUGRAM aims to simplify and standardize the registration of scientific
instruments in metadata systems by providing reusable templates based on the PIDINST schema that are linked to controlled vocabularies. The project will develop a modular tool that supports researchers and technical staff to generate high-quality, interoperable metadata with minimal effort, improving metadata quality, scope, and interoperability across research domains. Integration with systems like the O2A Registry and Sensor Management System ensures relevance within Helmholtz infrastructures. The tool will support automated registration via an open API, enable community-driven template development, and contribute to ongoing standardization efforts. All results, including software, templates, and documentation, will be openly available for long-term reuse. This proposal directly supports the HMC mission to foster FAIR data through better provenance metadata.
