Unleash Your Data's Potential
The Data Dictionary bridges the gap between data holders and the global research community. Research data has never been so easily accessible. Within just a few clicks, any researcher around the world can use research data to drive impact and innovation.
Open (up) Science
Democratise access to knowledge, foster collaboration, and accelerate scientific progress for the betterment of society.
International Standards
Confirm to international FAIR standards (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and drive forward the usage of research data
Streamline Processes
Streamline your data request processes to save time for data holders and managers in gathering the right information for a request.
Frequently Asked Questions
The data dictionary is an overview of available variables in the dataset of, for example, a research, study, database, or information system. It includes in-depth information about each variable. Variables can be divided into categories and subcategories to browse and refine the search for data in the dictionary.
Parties interested in utilizing data can request the desired datasets.
The Data Dictionary can be utilized by two main user groups:
- Researchers from around the globe who have the ability to search for specific data elements and request access to datasets that align with their research needs.
- Data holders, including studies, cohorts, and universities, who have the capability to supply data. These entities can contribute their datasets to the data dictionary, making them accessible to researchers seeking relevant information for their studies.
The application employs a robust versioning system to manage changes and updates to data sets effectively. Each time a data set is updated, a new version is created, preserving the integrity of previous iterations.
Certainly. Even after the study or research is completed, the data can remain accessible. This ensures data availability is secured for the future.
