Canada: Portage Announces Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) Now in Full Production, New Features and Benefits Available

From a Portage Announcement:

Portage’s Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) has officially launched into full production! Full production offers many new features and benefits:

• Publish research data in a Canadian-owned, bilingual national repository option
• 1 TB of repository storage available to all faculty members at Canadian post-secondary institutions – more storage may be available upon request
• Secure repository storage, distributed geographically across multiple Compute Canada Federation hosting sites
• Data curation support provided by Portage
• Ability to work with multiple collaborators on a single submission
• Your data will be discoverable alongside other Canadian collections in the FRDR Discovery Portal

FRDR is designed to address a longstanding gap in Canada’s research infrastructure by providing researchers with a robust repository option into which large research datasets can be ingested, curated, processed for preservation, discovered, cited, and shared.
