EUDAT’s vision is to enable European researchers and practitioners from any research discipline to preserve, find, access, and process data in a trustworthy environment. This webinar focused on trustworthiness and presented certification as an instrument to build trust into the data infrastructure.
Heiko Tjalsma (DANS), who leads the EUDAT task on “Trust and Certification”, presented the European framework of certification levels for data repositories, and concentrated on the Data Seal of Approval. This is the core level of the framework and also the aspired level for trustworthy B2 services.
The webinar was targeted at data repository managers and/or other representatives from the wider EUDAT community who are interested to learn more about certifying data repository services. In line with the Data Seal of Approval the focus will be on organisational and service policy rather than on technology.
