Solidipes, a dataset curation tool

2026

Abstract

Solidipes is an Python-based, open-source, research data curation tool, created by Dr. Guillaume Anciaux at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Originally designed to facilitate the publication of high-quality datasets in the field of computational solid mechanics, the tool was developed within the framework the Swiss ETH Board ORD Measure 1 (Field-Specific Actions). As of March 2026, solidipes includes contributions from EPFL's ENAC-IT4R team, Laboratory of Astrophysics, and Library. It can now support a variety of use cases thanks to an extensible architecture.

This presentation summarizes the history, current achievements and roadmap of the project. The presentation was followed by a live demo of some basic features (image and tabulated data quality checks, metadata preparation and dataset publication to the Zenodo sandbox)

Tool

A tool is an object that can extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment or help them accomplish a particular task. Although many animals use simple tools, only human beings, whose use of stone tools dates back hundreds of millennia, have been observed using tools to make other tools. Early human tools, made of such materials as stone, bone, and wood, were used for the preparation of food, hunting, the manufacture of weapons, and the working of materials to produce clothing and useful artifacts and crafts such as pottery, along with the construction of housing, businesses, infrastructure, and transportation.

Open-source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative, public manner. Open-source software is a prominent example of open collaboration, meaning any capable user is able to participate online in development, making the number of possible contributors indefinite.

Open source

Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.
