This is the lesson repository for the Yoda hands-on tutorial. This tutorial is meant to explain and experience the typical workflows for handling data and metadata in Yoda. It can be taught to researchers and data stewards new to Yoda. Access to a Yoda instance is needed for the hands-on exercises.
This tutorial is developed by the SURF Data Management Services team that hosts several Yoda instances in the Netherlands. It is currently maintained by Eduard Klapwijk.
These online materials are free to use for anyone who wants to learn more about research data management in Yoda. You can view the workshop pages including exercises.
For instructors who want to teach the tutorial, you can change the default Learner view to Instructor view (in the right upper corner of the page). This will give you tips about how to teach the lesson. The following preparations are necessary to work with the materials in Yoda:
-
Create two Research Groups in Yoda:
-
One group called
research-tutorial-unsupfor the unsupervised workflow. Make sure you invite workshop participants to this group and that they are also added to thedatamanager-group in the same category. -
Another group called
research-tutorial-supfor the supervised workflow in a separate Yoda category. Invite workshop participants to this group as well, but do not add them to thedatamanager-group in this category. You can add participants acting as a data steward temporarily to thedatamanager-group during the workshop.

-
Prepare a folder with a picture of the dress. It should be in the Vault area and workshop participants should have access to it. Also make sure that the words “Mondrian” or “Yves” are present in the metadata, but not in the file or folder names. You can use the folder published on GitHub to prepare the folder in Yoda. Make sure the dataset is in the Vault and removed from the Research area in Yoda.
The materials are also shared under a CC-BY license, for others who want to re-use, share or adapt part of the materials in their own courses.
