Data management portal

The data management portal ("DMP") provides the opportunity of managing research data, ensuring their quality and comprehensively describing them with metadata. Operation and functionality are oriented on the needs of data collectors. Structuring is provided by data projects. They combine data sets of various types of data and permit the allocation of access and editing rights. The data recorded in the data management portal can be searched in the Data research portal ("DRP") and, as needed, be publicly presented or made available.

The data management portal supports the administration of the following types of data:

• Logger data
• Sample and analysis data
• Cultivation data
• Archive data

Access the portal via the browser and the address

Since January 2022 it is also possible to register a DOI for archived datasets.

First steps

All data of the portal are organised in so-called data projects. In order to file data or manage them on your own, you need access rights within the corresponding data project.

If a data project already exists which fits in terms of subject matter, you may address its administrator/contact person to be given access. If you need a new data project, you may apply for it to be set up.
