InDoRES, A platform for FAIR biodiversity and environmental data
InDoRES, Une plate-forme pour des données FAIR en biodiversité et environnement
Résumé
InDoRES (environment and society data inventory) is a project born from the desire of the CNRS Ecology Institute and the National Museum of Natural History to spread scientific productions in the field of the environment and biodiversity. Thought as an inventory of research projects, today it is an information platform, a metadata catalog and a data repository articulated around a network of correspondents identified in the research units. We are convinced training and outreach are the key to getting researchers and engineers to understand the tools, Open Science or FAIR principles.
We have chosen to pool our resources in order to respond to a number of current problems in the world of research: not multiplying the number of deployments allows us to reinforce the durability of the data collected, not exhausting our often scarce technical resources and adopting an eco-responsible approach.
In this context, we used the IT infrastructure of the CNRS IN2P3 data centre to host the repository. This choice allowed us not only to deploy on OpenStack VMs but also to have access to a storage infrastructure to sustain the data. Our long-term goal is to put a dataverse instance into production on the existing kubernetes cluster with iRODS storage.
data.InDoRES is now a nationally recognised thematic repository (part of the national initiatives Recherche.Data.Gouv of the Ministry of Research and Data Terra, an infrastructure dedicated to Earth observation data, including the environment) which aims to be constantly evolving by offering practical functionalities for users.
Initially a discovery point via metadata, today a diffusion and publication tool, InDoRES' ambition in future years is to continue to offer practical tools, particularly for data visualisation.
