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

Tue May 28 15:56:06 UTC 2013

Actually, to add to the mix, we also have BioSharing that focuses on 
bio/env/medical domains and includes a registry of standards and links 
the two: http://biosharing.org/
The rationale and target users for these catalogs are slightly different.
