Improving repositories for research data – GeRDI – Generic Research Data Infrastructure

The RDA interest group “repository platforms for research data” aims on improving the usability and technical capabilities of repository platforms. GeRDI project member Ralph Müller-Pfefferkorn (TU Dresden) is one of its co-chairs. At the Twelfth RDA Plenary Meeting in Gaborone, Botswana the group discussed two topics: direct access to data in repositories for data analysis and enforcing data policies in repositories. The goal is to found working groups for these topics.
