In an era where web search serves as a cornerstone driving the global digital economy, an open, impartial and transparently produced web index is a key opportunity for Europe and beyond. Currently, the landscape is dominated by a select few gatekeepers who provide their web search services with minimal scrutiny from the general public. Moreover, web data has emerged as a pivotal element in the...
In today's research landscape, managing and processing a high volume
of data has become crucial in many fields. Many researchers make use
of remote computing resources to process large data volumes.
High-volume data transfers between research institutions and
High-Performance Computing Clusters (HPCC) have thus increased in importance,
as large data sets can require hours or days to...
PSDI is the UK nationally funded programme that analyses physical sciences needs in a common data infrastructure and develops guidance, training and technology to address these needs. The PSDI main objective is to serve research use cases originating in experimental “bench science” and simulations with applications in physics, chemistry, materials research or engineering. The main challenge to...
A significant amount of research data remains underutilized due to being unpublished or poorly described, leading to a loss of funding and scientific potential. To recover lost data and prevent further waste, researchers must be encouraged to use FAIR data sharing repositories and adopt good publishing practices, such as providing descriptive metadata and utilizing datasets from the community....
In the recent atmospheric and oceanic measurement campaigns (EUREC4A and ORCESTRA), we use the InterPlanetaryFileSystem (IPFS) to store, use, synchronize and share measurement data. IPFS uses content addressing (instead of location-based addressing) and provides an easy-to-set-up peer-to-peer network for sharing data on servers and portable devices.
Because of these features, we were able...
