Adamant: A JSON-Based Metadata Editor for Researchers — •Ihda Chaerony Siffa, Marjan Stankov, and Markus M. Becker — Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP), Felix-Hausdorff-Straße 2, 17489 Greifswald, Germany

Adamant is a browser-based research data management (RDM) tool, specifically developed to systematically collect research metadata that is both machine- and human-readable. It utilizes the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schema specifications, where any valid schema can be rendered as an interactive and user-friendly web form. Users may create a JSON schema from scratch or provide an existing schema. Subsequently, users can provide inputs to the rendered form and generate a JSON document, which can be downloaded for further use. Adamant has found its usage in several research settings; namely, compilation of structured experiment metadata in conjunction with a generic electronic laboratory notebook, scientific instrument job requesting, and preparation of input data for plasma simulations. Overall, Adamant is an emerging generic RDM tool that eases day-to-day research activities as far as structured metadata is concerned.
