+  description: >
+    Under DAPHNE4NFDI, the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reference database,
+    RefXAS, has been set up. For this purpose, we developed a method to enable
+    users to submit a raw dataset, with its associated metadata, via a dedicated
+    website for inclusion in the database. Implementation of the database includes
+    an upload of metadata to the scientific catalogue and an upload of files via
+    object storage, with automated query capabilities through a web server and
+    visualization of the data and files. Based on the mode of measurements, quality
+    criteria have been formulated for the automated check of any uploaded data. In
+    the present work, the significant metadata fields for reusability, as well as
+    reproducibility of results (FAIR data principles), are discussed. Quality
+    criteria for the data uploaded to the database have been formulated and assessed.
+    Moreover, the usability and interoperability of available XAS data/file formats
+    have been explored. The first version of the RefXAS database prototype is
+    presented, which features a human verification procedure, currently being tested
+    with a new user interface designed specifically for curators; a user-friendly
+    landing page; a full list of datasets; advanced search capabilities; a streamlined
+    upload process; and, finally, a server-side automatic authentication and (meta-)
+    data storage via MongoDB, PostgreSQL and (data-) files via relevant APIs.
