*Vocabulary to describe Research Data Repositories online*
The first draft of the re3data.org vocabulary to describe research data
repositories and its documentation is online (doi:10.2312/re3.001). The
vocabulary will be used to index research data repositories gathering
issues such as:
general information (e.g. subject)
information on the provider (e.g. responsible institutions)
information on legal aspects (e.g. licenses)
information on technical, metadata and quality standards (e.g.
software, api and certificates).
The existing vocabulary was developed out of 20 randomly chosen
repositories of a survey of 400 research data repositories. These
findings as well as suggestions from project partners have led to the
current and preliminary version 1.0. Future developments of the
vocabulary will also depend on the feedback of the research data
repository community. This open and transparent development process is
to ensure a strong basis for a future standard for describing research
data repositories supported by and rooted in the community. Taking all
responses into account the preliminary version 1.0 will be updated to
1.1 and published in autumn 2012.
