[open-science] data repository primer?

Wed Oct 17 22:32:10 UTC 2012

All,

A couple of links to add to this discussion.  There are currently - to my knowledge - two projects working to produce a directory or registry of data repositories: i.e. a useful 'look-up service for researchers or research support staff wanting to know where given data might find an open and sustainable home.  These are:

DataBib from Purdue University, described as 'a searchable catalog / registry / directory / bibliography of research data repositories': http://databib.org/

Re3Data, a DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft / German Research Foundation) funded project which aims to produce a registry of research data repositories: http://www.re3data.org/

Best,

Simon.

This is a great discussion with plenty of useful information.

We are trying to document some of this guidance in the Open Research Data Handbook - still very much a work in progress!

If anyone feels able to contribute a short section on this, please do so! We are drafting on booki. Anyone is welcome either to contribute to an existing section (NB: some are currently placeholders only) or add a new section themselves.

Outline here: http://www.booki.cc/open-research-data-handbook/

Cheers,
Laura

I'd also like to point your attention to the Research Data Alliance
(http://www.rd-alliance.org/), which is a _very_ new international
advisory group being formed to create standards that can help with not
only sharing data openly, but enabling more interdisciplinary
research.
