I’m helping a researcher at my university identify potential data repositories in which he might ultimately be able to deposit/share his data once the project is complete (not a working space, he has that). In addition to offering our
IR/local solutions, I like to also provide the researcher with an option for one or more domain repositories for them to consider, but I’m having a hard time identifying one in his field.
He’s a mechanical engineer who works in fluid dynamics/heat transfer and does laboratory experiments. He produces videos and tabular data files, as well as workflow documents.
I’ve looked around (including in Databib and re3data) and not found any that seem to be either focused on fluid mechanics or are a catch-all for engineering in general. The closest I’ve found anywhere on the margins was:
Again, we can always fall back on our IR, but I wanted to double-check and make sure I wasn’t missing specific domain alternatives that might have features that would be superior for his domain than what you’d get in a generic system such
as an IR.
Sincerely,
Kate McNeilld
