INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 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.
