GeRDI - Generic Research Data Infrastructure
Introduction
The GeRDI project deals with the development of a Generic Research Data Infrastructure (GeRDI). The aim is to enable all scientists in Germany, especially those who hold only small amounts of data, to store, share and re-use research data across disciplines.

Description
- Register Schema:
- Support for arbitrary schemas of a specific format (e.g. JSON Schema, XSD)
 - The schema should at least be referencable by a unique identifier.
 
 - Update Schema:
- Possibility to 
- work on different versions of a schema
 - adapt schemas over time
 
 
 - Possibility to 
 - Validate Schema:
- Check schema for correct syntax
 
 - Ingest Metadata:
- Store metadata (document) in repository
- Ideally with previous validation
 
 
 - Store metadata (document) in repository
 - Update Metadata: 
- Possibility to update already ingested metadata (documents).
 
 - Validate Metadata:
- Possibility to validate documents on the basis of registered schemas.
 
 - Search by Administrative MD:
- Search documents by their metadata (e.g. ingest date, ingester, ...)
 
 - Search by Content:
- Search documents by their content
 
 - Persistent Identifier:
- Support for Persistent Identifiers (e.g. DOI, Handle)
