ENES and EUDAT for Climate Change
EUDAT and ENES are working together to provide IT solutions for Climate Change researchers and scientists. ENES is using B2FIND to integrate metadata from the World Data Center Climate (WDCC), which includes some Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) data. Within ENES, several partners have already established infrastructures for the long-term preservation of data, especially well structured large data collections. However we also need to preserve long tail data (that is, large numbers of small data collections) within ENES, B2SAFE could support this. This collaboration allows ENES to learn how other research communities address the IT challenges ahead. Cooperation in wider contexts is beneficial for all.
