B2FIND

Training materials for the event: "Training of “EUDAT Tools” (Part of “Train-the-Trainer: Exploring tools for FAIR data”)"

The main objective of this session is to show how EOSC services can be used for managing active research data (i.e. data transfer, storage, and sharing) and for preserving final research data (i.e. data archiving and publishing). During this training, we will give a brief overview of the EUDAT Services in the data life cycle and demonstrate how these services operate and integrate with each other to meet the data management requirements of research communities and comply with the FAIR principles - which require the data to be properly documented, annotated, archived, published and accessible to the wider community.

This training track is relevant for researchers, IT support people, and service providers who operate services for Open Science.

This training module provides detailed instructions for the usage of the B2FIND service. We explain how to employ B2FIND as an external metadata portal service for communities and how scientists from any community can search through metadata provided to B2FIND.
