Our mission
The OneStop4All is the central web-based access point to all NFDI4Earth resources and services. Its comprehensive search functionality enables the user to discover and access Earth System Science data, tools, services, training materials, and more from a wide variety of sources. Topics reach from research data management over data science approaches within and across sub-disciplines to assessing the FAIRness of data and repositories. The OneStop4All search leverages the NFDI4Earth Knowledge Hub as its semantic metadata backbone and also provides guidance on how to contribute as a data or software provider. The portal includes a direct connection to the NFDI4Earth User Support Network to provide answers to all questions that could not be satisfied by the currently included resources.
Our Measure 2.1 Team is responsible for the user feedback. Please find more information on other OneStop4All related tasks on the Measure 4.3 website .
From User Needs to Platform Design
The OneStop4All portal was developed using a user-centered design approach to ensure it meets the needs of a diverse user base. Proto-personas were created to represent key user types, and user stories were gathered in collaboration with researchers and service providers. Based on these, realistic user scenarios were developed to guide design decisions.
Throughout the process, feedback was continuously collected through workshops, hands-on sessions, and task-based testing. This input was used to iteratively refine the portal and align it with user expectations.
