Repository Choices
CHEMCONNECT
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable data:
Though CHEMCONNECT is not a prerequisite for the development of a data management plan with Blurock Consulting AB, it does provide FAIR concept support. If another, repository option is chosen, CHEMCONNECT can still be expanded with domain knowledge to work as a supplementary option.
CHEMCONNECT, a cloud-based service, is a database that support satisfying FAIR, that data be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable data. The extensive data connectivity offered by CHEMCONNECT allows efficient search through the data objects and with reference keys associated with the data sets connections to external repositories are made. The interface of CHEMCONNECT will also provide visualization of data and conversion and access interfaces to other repositories.
Combustion Related repository
offers a sustainable repository designed and used within the combustion community. The repository consists of datasets, with an assigned DOI identification, with supplementary information. The data format is XML based and is considered one of the standards for combustion information. The data is made publicly available and downloadable with searching techniques based on the meta-data of the dataset.
FlameCloud is a cloud-based cyber-infrastructure for managing combustion research and enabling collaborations. The infrastructure includes both software and hardware components and is used by industry professional and academics. This website provides a front-end for data search tools, web-based numerical simulations, and discussion forums.
General Repository Options
Conpendium of database repositories:
- Re3data: Repository of database options (by subject)
- FairSharing.org: A curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, inter-related to databases and data policies.
Some concrete examples of general repository options
- Zenodo: ZENODO builds and operates a simple and innovative service that enables researchers, scientists, EU projects and institutions to share and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data and publications) that are not part of the existing institutional or subject-based repositories of the research communities.
- Open Science Framework: The OSF supports the entire research lifecycle: planning, execution, reporting, archiving, and discovery. Features include: automated versioning, logging of all actions, collaboration support, free and unlimited file storage, registrations, and connections to other tools/services (ie. Dropbox, figshare, Amazon S3, Dataverse, GitHub). It is 100% free, open source, and intended for use in all domain areas.
- Dryad: Dryad aims to make data archiving as simple and as rewarding as possible through a suite of services not necessarily provided by publishers or institutional websites
- EUDAT: The EUDAT CDI is essentially a European e-infrastructure of integrated data services and resources to support research. This infrastructure and its services have been developed in close collaboration with over 50 research communities spanning across many different scientific disciplines and involved at all stage of the design process. The establishment of the EUDAT CDI is timely with the imminent realization of the European Open Science Cloud which aims to offer open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines.
