What is B2SHARE
B2SHARE is a user-friendly, reliable and trustworthy way for researchers, scientific communities and citizen scientists to store, publish and share research data in a FAIR way. B2SHARE is a solution that facilitates research data storage, guarantees long-term persistence of data and allows data, results or ideas to be shared worldwide. B2SHARE supports community domains with metadata extensions, access rules and publishing workflows. EUDAT offers communities and organisations customised instances and/or access to repositories supporting large datasets.
Features
- Support of metadata descriptions via the EUDAT metadata schema
- Registers DOIs for datasets and Handle PIDs for data objects
- Supports versioning
- Harvested by B2FIND and OpenAIRE explorer
- Direct upload from B2DROP
- Accessible via a Web GUI and an API to support automatic publishing workflows
- Supports community domains
- Allows communities to define metadata extensions, access rules and publishing workflows

Communities
Researchers
B2SHARE is perfect for:
- Researchers who require adequate facilities for storing research data with metadata
- Researchers who would like to guarantee the long-term persistence of their locally-stored data
- Researchers who require adequate facilities to easily share data, results or ideas with colleagues worldwide
B2SHARE is available for all researchers and scientists who are affiliated to research institutions or universities as well as to individual researchers (citizen scientists). To deposit research data, researchers must register.
