Prof. Dr. Fleck highlights the importance of structured data practices and coordinated workflows for fatigue-related materials testing of natural and bio-inspired materials. She points out that shared infrastructures and transparent data handling enable researchers to connect results more effectively, integrate diverse datasets, and collaborate with greater precision. These developments directly benefit BioAntiFatigue, where understanding fatigue mechanisms relies on robust, interoperable research data. 

Her perspective demonstrates how NFDI-MatWerk enhances scientific work by improving standardization within the field and supporting more coherent, data-driven approaches to material behavior under cyclic loading.
