A central mission of HMC is to support the data producers of the Helmholtz community in making their data FAIR. Developing a sustainable strategy for doing so requires a detailed understanding of community-specific practices, strengths, and limitations related to the application of each FAIR data guideline. We have applied the FAIR Data Maturity Model, developed by the respective RDA working group, to a prototypical data pipeline in the research field Matter. In our poster presentation, we would like to provide an overview of our approach and discuss the lessons learned that helped us identify key activities for meeting community needs.
