“…As a result of this, the EELS database has been recognized as an Open Data research repository by the global Registry of Research Data Repositories organization (Pampel et al, 2012). The EELS database can thus be included in data management plans, fulfilling an increasingly common requirement found within numerous funding agency grant proposal processes.…”

The Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) database has been completely rewritten, with an improved design, user interface and a 3 number of new tools. The database is accessible at https://eelsdb.eu/ and can now be used without registration. The submission process has been streamlined to encourage spectrum submissions and the new design gives greater emphasis on contributors' original work by highlighting their papers. With numerous new filters and a powerful search function, it is now simple to explore the database of several hundred of EELS and XAS spectra. Interactive plots allow spectra to be overlaid, facilitating online comparison. An application-programming interface has been created, allowing external tools and software to easily access the information held within the database. In addition to the database itself, users can post and manage job adverts and read the latest news and events regarding the EELS and XAS communities. In accordance with the ongoing drive towards open access data increasingly demanded by funding bodies, the database will facilitate open access data sharing of EELS and XAS spectra.

“…However, the availability of reliable public repositories for data deposition varies widely among the scientific disciplines in which Eawag is engaged and the quality of deposited data is subject to criticism [Roche et al, 2015]. The Registry of Research Data Repositories, re3data.org [Pampel et al, 2013], listed 1805 research data repositories when this chapter was written. Zenodo (https://zenodo.org) and Dryad (https://datadryad.org) are among the most used general-purpose repositories at Eawag.…”

A sizeable, and sometimes overwhelming, array of knowledge is available and relevant to Sustainable Water Management (SWM). This knowledge derives not only from the natural, social and engineering sciences but also from practical experiences in water management, which is defined broadly to include all forms of water use as well as the protection of water resources and reduction of risk from water-related hazards. As a publically-funded water research institute, Eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) faces the challenges of integrating and synthesizing available knowledge, creating new knowledge through research projects and making knowledge available in an accessible form to support engineering practice, water resources management and related policy-making. This chapter examines these challenges from an organizational perspective, discussing measures taken within Eawag to meet them and identifying remaining gaps and possible ways to address them.

“…re3data.org is a global registry of research data repositories that covers all academic disciplines. The registry arose from two separate projects, re3data.org (Pampel et al 2013) and DataBib (Witt and Giarlo 2012) and is now managed by DataCite. The total sample we obtained from re3data.org in December 2015 listed 1381 repositories.…”

Web-based persistent identifiers have been around for more than 20 years, a period long enough for us to start observing patterns of success and failure. Persistent identifiers were invented to address challenges arising from the distributed and disorganised nature of the internet, which often resulted in URLs to internet endpoints becoming invalid. Over the years several different persistent identifier systems have been applied to the identification of research data, not all with the same level of success in terms of uptake and sustainability. We investigate the uptake of persistent identifier systems and discuss the factors that might determine the stability and longevity of these systems. Persistent identifiers have become essential elements of global research data infrastructures. Understanding the factors that influence the stability and longevity of persistent identifier systems will help us guide the future development of this important element of research data infrastructures and will make it easier to adapt to future technological and organisational changes.
