SEMINAR-7

Landscape Study of Research Data Repositories

Abstract



	Research data are important and universal to infer new ideas and
knowledge. The growth of the data is not parallel to the reuse of data.
The permanent access and long-term preservation of research data is a
challenge for all researchers or stakeholders in the scientific
community. To facilitate research data we need to build a platform called
data repository, a hub to store datasets in various domains. These days
many organizations like universities, research centers are building their
own repository for providing access to research data in a trustworthy
environment.
	In this seminar we shall discuss the scenario of research data, how
research data repositories promote a culture of sharing, increased access
and better visibility of research data. We shall briefly discuss some of
the repository registries (e.g., re3data.org) and the repositories (e.g.,
DRIED, ICAR Research Data Repository for Knowledge Management). In this
seminar, we shall also discuss the repository software tools like
Dataverse and CKAN. We shall conclude this seminar with some issues and
major challenges of creating and managing the data repositories.
