Abstract
This is the poster presented at the 2nd Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI 2025) in Aachen, Germany, for the "RDM Infrastructures" track. The poster introduces Carto-Lab Docker (CLD), a practical Research Data Management (RDM) infrastructure designed to address the significant challenges of transparent, open, and reproducible spatial data science. The poster visually outlines the "Three-Pillar RDM Infrastructure" approach of CLD: Guaranteed Reproducibility: Through versioned, pre-configured Docker containers that solve software "dependency hell". Enhanced Collaboration: Via features like live notebook sharing and isolated team instances. Integrated Publication: Using CI/CD pipelines to automate the generation of FAIR supplementary materials from notebooks. It further showcases "CLD in Action" through real-world use cases, including university training materials (NFDI4Biodiversity Jupyter Book) and the generation of citable, reproducible supplements for peer-reviewed publications. Overall, the work presents CLD as a FAIR-enabling environment that empowers researchers by streamlining workflows from analysis to publication.
