The Cat4KIT project developed an inter-institutional research data catalog framework across the four IMKs, serving as a central entry point for FAIR and publicly available research data. Built on STAC, it connects existing data services through a modular, flexible software stack. With strong links to the Helmholtz DataHub and NFDI(4Earth), Cat4KIT integrates into higher-level infrastructures, supporting a federated research data ecosystem across KIT and beyond.
