[open-science] Fwd: re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched

[Stacy Konkiel]

Thanks, Ross!

While I was surprised to see that another such venture has been launched,
given that databib.org already exists, it seems that re3data.org goes above
and beyond by including detailed information about IP rights, responsible
organizations, etc.
