Graduation Projects
The HfG archives a documentation of all diploma projects and theses in its digital archive:
https://madek.hfg-karlsruhe.de
If you have any questions about the process, please contact orc@hfg-karlsruhe.de or your supervisor.
The submission of your documentation takes place in three steps:
- Upload your documentation and enter information
- Review of your documentation by your supervisor and the ORC
- Handover to the archive and submission of the declaration of consent
1. Upload and information
Upload your final documentation to Madek and enter the metadata (information) according to the specifications for your department. The more detailed you describe your documentation, the better it can be found later.
Please create a main set for your thesis and enter all metadata there. Then upload your images, video files, documents, etc. and copy the metadata from the main set to the individual media entries or enter them individually. Add the media entries to the main set. You can also create additional sets at any time to further structure your documentation.
2. Review
A responsible person from your department as well as the ORC will review your documentation. For this purpose, you must grant this person and the ORC group the appropriate permissions for viewing and editing (→ how to set permissions in Madek).
Please make sure to share every set and every media entry in your documentation. You can also assign permissions using batch processing.
As soon as you have granted the permissions, contact the responsible person in your department and the ORC (orc@hfg-karlsruhe.de).
3. Archiving
Once your documentation has been successfully reviewed, hand it over to the HfG archive. To do this, first fill out a declaration of consent and submit it here: https://cloud.hfg-karlsruhe.de/s/7jXK2tLsf4fTEER
In Madek, under Permissions, transfer responsibility for each set and each media entry in your documentation to the HfG Archive responsibility group (→ how to transfer responsibility). After this, you will no longer be able to edit your documentation.
Finally, please contact orc@hfg-karlsruhe.de.
