Data deposit software
Agencies and organizations that manage data archives may receive data and metadata from multiple sources. It is important to organize these data deposits to:
- Ensure that all necessary data and metadata are provided
- Minimize the costs of receiving and documenting the datasets for publication
- Maintain information on what is deposited, by whom, and when
- Provide the person or agency who deposits the data with the opportunity to inform the data archive about access restrictions
- Provide the depositor with a "receipt" indicating what has been deposited
The IHSN Data Deposit tool is DDI-compliant, open-source software which can be used as part of the NADA package or as a stand-alone tool. It will be useful to agencies that want to implement a simple, user-friendly, yet powerful and secure on-line system for acquiring datasets.
