The necessity and potential of systematic archiving and publication of digital research data is currently a hot topic in the scientific landscape, due to various benefits such as ensuring reproducibility of research results and providing the basis for data-driven science. This requires measures to ensure data quality and particularly a documentation of stored data by means of metadata, which is understandable to both humans and machines. Machine-actionable metadata is not only important for

This contribution introduces a workflow for data and metadata, which uses programmatic data aggregation, electronic lab notebooks, ontology-based metadata, and blockchain protocols for partly automated processing and documentation of raw data as well as quality assured data publication, respectively. The practical relevance of the suggested (meta)data workflow is demonstrated at the example of highly resolved current measurements for pulsed dielectric barrier discharges in a nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture.
