Etsin is a research data finder service Aimed at researchers, research groups and organisations Centralized service for metadata on research datasets Contains only metadata, not the data itself (only via link) Launched in December 2014 Open Science and Research initiative’s service, offered by
Ministry of Education and Culture, provided by CSC
Etsin background
Etsin benefits
Search research datasets independent of storage location Offers guidance and tools for describing research datasets Metadata increases the discoverability of the dataset Provides an identifier for data sets Enables accumulation of merit to researchers Supports the creation of application forms for data access Fosters unified license and access rights policies
Etsin metadata
Metadata on research datasets is collected into Etsin Metadata may be searched and browsed openly Adding metadata on a dataset required HAKA identification Minimum requirements for metadata (minimum metadata
model) The better a dataset is described, the easier it is for others
to find and utilize it Recommendable but not required to open the dataset itself
Etsin technology
CKAN extension Python Minimum metadata model adhered to URN PIDs assigned to datasets, also support for other IDs DDI and OAI-PMH metadata harvesting REMS user rights management Versatile API
