As part of the BioHackathon Germany 2025, we report here about the progress of Project 8 -Enhancing e!DAL-PGP: A Modern Data Submission Platform for Plant Science Research Dataduring the event.The increasing volume of data generated in plant research underscores the necessity for efficient data management and sharing solutions. The de.NBI Service e!DAL-PGP (Arend et al., 2016, p. Arend2020) serves as a critical research data repository, facilitating the storage, management, and dissemination of plant research data. However, the current implementation faces significant challenges concerning the submission process and the provision of a submission tool for different operating systems, which complicate user interactions and hinder data contribution. A primary issue with the existing e!DAL-PGP service is the cumbersome nature of maintaining and deploying a submission tool across various OS environments. This requirement necessitates extensive effort to build, test, and provide the application for each platform. Consequently, this fragmentation can lead to delays and inconsistencies in the submission process, ultimately hindering researchers from effectively submitting their valuable data to the repository. To address these challenges, this project proposes the development of a unified and user-friendly web submission tool that streamlines the data submission process to eliminate the complexities associated with OS-specific requirements and to ensure that all users can submit their data seamlessly. This simplifies the submission process and enhances usability by focussing onimproving the design and functionality. A well-structured and user-centric form is essential for facilitating accurate and complete data submissions. The current interface lacks features that enhance user experience, such as lookup services, contextual help, and clear instructions. By incorporating these elements, we aim to create a more efficient and engaging submission experience, encouraging researchers to contribute their valuable data without unnecessary complexity. This initiative aligns closely with the goals of de.NBI, which emphasizes the provision of high-quality bioinformatics services and the facilitation of FAIR Research Data Management (RDM). Enhancing the e!DAL-PGP service will streamline the data submission process andpromote a culture of collaboration and data sharing within the plant research community.
