Research Data Registry & Discovery Service
Research Data Registry & Discovery Service
The DCC is working on a pilot project to develop a UK-wide registry, or catalogue, of data held in UK HEIs and established subject-focused data centres alongside the UK Data Archive and a small group of universities with working data repositories.
