MaRDMO: FAIR Documentation of In-Silico Research

Abstract

MaRDMO is a plugin for the Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO) that enables the structured, FAIR-compliant documentation and discovery of mathematical research data. By embedding mathematics-specific questionnaires into a widely used data management plan tool, MaRDMO lowers the barrier to contributing and querying the MaRDI Knowledge Graph for researchers across all disciplines. This paper presents the current state of MaRDMO, including its questionnaire-driven documentation process for mathematical models, algorithms, and interdisciplinary workflows, illustrated through a concrete example based on a solver comparison study for the Stokes-Darcy system. We further describe the dedicated MaRDI RDMO instance as a ready-to-use entry point for the community, and discuss recent developments including a simplified Basic Model Catalog and an improved class-filtered search. The paper concludes with an outlook on LLM-assisted documentation features currently under development.
