AFFORDing FAIR data: An Open Research Data Index with R and Git

Poster presented at the Swiss Reproducibility Conference, 10-11 June 2024

We describe a use-case for using R package Data Tables to render an HTML table with metadata and use Quarto to publish it into a website hosted in Gitlab pages. This enables researchers to share metadata and navigate through metadata. The back-end encourages researchers to use version control repositories for their metadata. This is a fully flexible workflow, with minimal coding requirements or additional dependencies.
