The Data Collections Explorer
Easy findability and accessibility are important for the efficient re-use of research data. The Data Collections Explorer is an information system for engineers looking for discipline specific repositories, archives, databases, and individually published datasets. It aims to help answer the following questions:
- Are there datasets available to support my research questions?
- Are there benchmarks available to check my results?
- Are datasets published Open Access?
- Where to publish my research datasets?
- Are there size limitations for datasets?
- Are there publication costs?
A SPARQL endpoint is available at data-collections.nfdi4ing.de/dce. Documentation about the structure of the graph and how to query it can be found here.
Features
- Filtering for type, subject area, Open Access
- Full-text search of the entries
