IT, data management and outreach
To
achieve the goal of coupling multidisciplinary research and data
requires a suitable data and information management. A shared internet
portal enables search, evaluation, access, and visualization of data
and models. Furthermore, the information management strives is to
improve the re-use of data by referencing the digital data to related
articles in the scientific literature and by making the data citeable
through the use of digital object identifiers. The development of
advanced visualization tools should facilitate scientific integration
in addition to data integration and exchange. The portal will be
established according to community standards and thus may contribute to
a wider network of data bases, in line with the European policy on
digital data accessibility.
