As a supplement to interdisciplinary repositories such as Zenodo, FoDaSi ("Forschungsdaten in Siegen", i.e. "Research Data in Siegen") is aimed in particular at researchers who do not have suitable storage locations for their research data in their disciplines.
Features of FoDaSi
-
FoDaSi is based on the RADAR service service from FIZ Karlsruhe and is hosted locally at ZIMT.
-
FoDaSi offers comprehensive rights management and (optional) delayed publication of research data.
There is no obligation to publish! -
Various (subject-specific) metadata formats (DE) are supported for the indexing, documentation and retrievability of research data.
-
All digital objects receive a persistent identifier (DE) (for example DOI).
-
Data can be linked to publications on the publication and document server OPUS of Siegen University Library.
-
Research data can be stored for up to 15 years.
To view and download publications in FoDaSi
-
All research data currently published in FoDaSi can be viewed directly without a login at forschungsdaten.uni-siegen.de (s. also box).
-
Individual files and complete directories of published and archived data packages (TAR archive, BagIt-compliant) can be downloaded.
-
Individual files are provided in their original format, directories in .TAR format [name of directory-timestamp.tar].
