In Sep 2025, NFDI4BIOIMAGE/training delivered a substantial upgrade to the Resource Catalog, focusing on catalog expansion, data integrity, and accessibility. Key features added and metadata refined across resources such as preprints, tutorials, publications, slides, videos, and datasets, with updated URLs to improve discoverability. A targeted cleanup removed duplicate entries and empty UUIDs, addressing data integrity issues. The work was complemented by small, precise commits (e.g., add preprint #891, add video tutorial #877, add handbook #866, add qupath #801, add scientific colormaps #931, add datasets #832, adjust DALIA label for video resource, fix urls #793 and #828). Overall impact includes higher quality metadata, better searchability, and reduced maintenance burden. Technologies demonstrated include metadata curation, URL normalization, data integrity checks, and version-controlled catalog updates.
