EcoPortal is a repository for semantic artefacts that pertain to Ecology and Biodiversity. It hosts relevant ontologies and controlled vocabularies together with their metadata and it offers a suite of tools to discover, publish or utilise them.
F2DS
Federated FAIR Data Space
Organisation:
- Domain agnostic
The F2DS is a unifying data space that is built by aggregating and enriching datasets from a set of multidisciplinary repositories, i.e. data sources, with the aim to facilitate data discovery and reuse. Although datasets are the primary focus of the resulting data space, other items are managed, including repositories and data sources, APIs, metadata schemas and ontologies
FAIR-enabling Repository Finder
A searchable registry of repositories
Organisation:
- Domain agnostic
The Repository Finder is a searchable registry of repositories with embedded content and metadata.
