Data Repositories
• Discipline-specific repositories– NSIDC Data Center (cryospheric data)– GenBank (genetic sequencing data)
• Institutional Repositories– Trace
• Databib.org (registry)• ONEMercury (federated search
engine)
Exercise
Review UT’s Research Data Policy again with respect to preservation of research data.
• Does it have limitations?• What are some ramifications of following
this policy?
Exercise
Search Databib.org for a repository relevant to your discipline and attempt to download a dataset from the repository.
(FYI, you may run into a lot of repositories that are down because of the government shutdown.)
