EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure

The EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) is an infrastructures of integrated data services and resources supporting research in Europe. It is sustained by a network of more than 20 European research organisations, data and computing centres. EUDAT offers collaboration on and preservation of research data, independent of the research area which created the data. Furthermore, EUDAT services help making the research data FAIR by publishing metadata together with the research data, assigning digital identifiers to them and harvesting published data by EUDATs search engine for research data.

Partners of the CDI are listed on the EUDAT website.

Topics

• Research data storage and preservation, independent of research area
• Making research FAIR
• Collaboration on research data
• Identity & access management

Services

At JSC, we operate two services for the EUDAT CDI, B2ACCESS and B2DROP. Furthermore, we operate a local instance of B2SHARE.

B2DROP

B2DROP is a service for synchronizing and sharing of small-scale (research) data. The data can be synchronized across various kinds of devices such as desktop computers, tablets or smartphones.

B2SHARE

B2SHARE is a service for publishing data from diverse research contexts. Published data are registred with a PID system to make them citeable. This service was developed within the EUDAT and EUDAT2020 projects. It is operated as a community specific service for Jülich and related communities.

B2ACCESS

B2ACCESS is the AAI of the EUDAT collaborative data infrastructure. It allows users to login to EUDAT services using their home Identity Provider (IdP), social IdPs such as ORCID or GitHub, and B2ACCESS accounts.
