Open Source
Research Data Switchboard
Key Features
- Discover Data
- Data Analysis
- Data Collection
- Data Extraction
- Metadata Extraction
Allows cross-platform discovery by connecting datasets of multiple registries.
It is an open, collaborative project administered by Research Data Alliance's (RD-A) DDRI WorkGroup. The way RD-Switchboard operates is analogous to the discovery functions featured on online bookstores such as Amazon. These sites link items, based on similar publishers, authors, and related topics. In the case of RD-Switchboard, items are linked through co-authorship, joint funding, and research grants. The system aggregates these links from national and international registries, utilizing graph modeling technology to identify the missing links between data sets.
