This index was derived from a prior genome-wide association study on educational attainment in democratic countries. In 1,930 individuals aged 25 to 85 years from the SOEP-G[ene] cohort, the magnitude ...

FAIRness of research data largely depends on the availability of rich and standardized metadata. While such metadata is commonly available at the study level, fine-grained metadata, especially for tabular scientific data, is often lacking (Wenzig/Han 2024). In a project funded by KonsortSWD-NFDI4Society, three research data centers (SOEP, LIfBi, and DZHW) investigate what is required to convert existing ...
