The tale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In their search for data chests, the elves had been reading all sorts of literature to get indications of where to find them. However, the elf Fusky was really fed up looking for data chests, so he sat down under the apple tree in the castle\u2019s courtyard for a short break. He noticed the elf Fyrti walking through the yard carrying a large wooden tree chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cWhat\u2019s that Fyrti?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cIt is gold\u201d, Fyrti replied with a big smile on his face. \u201cOr at least it looks like somebody tried to make gold before we did.\u201d – \u201cWhere did you get it from, and how did you find it?\u201d Fusky asked impatiently to know where to look next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cThis \u2026 Well I \u2026 found it in the forest. It was just lying there on the ground. I\u2019m sure we don\u2019t have it in the books,\u201d Fyrti said a bit bewildered. \u201cThat\u2019s ok, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cSure. It\u2019s great\u201d, said Fusky. \u201cBut this means that we have to go and look for chests in every corner of every kingdom. It\u2019s going to take decades!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cI know\u201d, said Fyrti, trying to keep the smile on his face. \u201cBut I have just heard rumours that Wildy the data wizard is talking to the people in the library tower. They might have found a magic chest map.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cExciting\u201d said Fusky, almost forgetting that he was sick and tired of looking for data chests. \u201cWith all chests mapped?\u201d crossing three fingers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u201cMaybe\u201d, Fyrti replied. \u201cWho knows \u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traversing the entire internet for (research) data sets is neither feasible nor doable. And it leaves too much room for serendipity, which can be nice in some cases, but not desirable when making structured searches for data sets. Making research data available on project websites etc. usually adds to the risk of only being found
\nby coincidence. Repositories are websites \u2013 most often \u2013 and represent a common way for building structured indexes of metadata and data sets that are uploaded to the repository. The indexes often adhere to a specific way of describing the data using a common standard. This will allow both repository and other search engines
\nto harvest and index these registries, often aggregating them to larger indexes that eventually can be cross-searched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repositories come in many shapes and forms. Some are generic repositories that will take almost any data set, while others are targeted towards specific disciplines or research data types. Repositories are usually owned and operated by institutions, research communities, or private companies. The question of where exactly to deposit your data is a matter of determining the best repository for your specific data set, thereby maximizing its findability and potential. This is often evaluated on a case-to-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
