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.

      • work on different versions of a schema
      • adapt schemas over time
  • Validate Schema:
    • Check schema for correct syntax
  • Ingest Metadata:
    • Store metadata (document) in repository
      • Ideally with previous validation
  • 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)
