Data Portal
A Data Portal is a platform where information on datasets is collected, organized, and made accessible to the community. It acts as a central hub for data discovery, where users can search, download, and sometimes interact with datasets. A data portal is generally supported by features such as search functionality, data visualization, and access to metadata, and it may integrate directly with other community services.
Data portals are an essential component of research data infrastructures. They support the implementation of the FAIR principles, which make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. They can also be used to manage access rights, track usage, and connect to persistent identifier (PID) services.
