Wadden data portal

WaLTER ‘Wadden Sea Long-Term Ecosystem Research’ is a combined initiative of a number of institutes and organisations that carry out multiannual measurements and research in the Wadden Sea area. The aims of the project are the development of a blueprint for the fundamental monitoring necessary for important themes in the Wadden Sea area, and a data portal for Wadden data.WaLTER has launched a public online platform which provides advice for monitoring (themes), grants access to relevant Wadden Sea area data (data portal) and functional data and information products (tools) for policy- and decision-making, and science.

Data Management To help researchers managing and sharing their research data, NIOZ is maintaining and developing an institutional data archive, DAS (Data Archive System) for the long-term storage and processing of data. Data archived this way can be swiftly retrieved for the purpose of replication and verification on request. Secondly, DAS is interfaced with the public NIOZ data portal for searching and downloading research data by third parties to disseminate scientific knowledge and to advance the field of natural sciences.
Data Policy "NIOZ’ policy on research data management focuses on safe-guarding valuable and often unique research data, and on sharing these data. RDM-NIOZ aims to design, develop and maintain an electronic institutional RDM infrastructure that enables NIOZ researchers to manage their research data from the collection of raw data until final publication and the (FAIR) sharing of research data in accordance with the institute’s RDM policy. The RDM infrastructure ensures that all research data (including software code, protocols, imagery) and associated meta data can be secured permanently, and will be curated for a period well in excess of 10 y. It warrants full traceability of any published data to its most original source and a swift retrieval of those data from the archive, enabling the reproduction and verification of research findings. The infrastructure embodies an institutional data portal which is publicly accessible via NIOZ’ corporate website. It provides unrestricted access to all data qualified as ‘publicly accessible’ by the responsible researcher. The research- and meta data exposed here are all registered under DOI (DataCite.org) and are therefore world-wide findable, accessible and re-usable, thereby meeting the requirements as laid out in the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity."
Data Sharing Principle " Research data and supplemental information associated with a scientific publications is publiced on a Dataverse. A persistent identifier (DOI) can be minted to datasets archived in DAS and be automatically registered with DataCite, an international organization for the registration of Digital Object Identifiers. Each DOI links to a page in Dataverse, showing the meta data, dataset and documents for downloading."
