re3data is a global registry providing detailed descriptions of more than 2600 research data repositories. These descriptions are based on the re3data Metadata Schema and can be accessed via the re3data API.
There are many conceivable use cases for re3data metadata. In this GitHub repository, we provide some examples for using the re3data API. The examples are implemented in R using Jupyter Notebooks, which can be run in binder here (it may take a while to build):
Currently, we provide notebooks for three use cases:
- re3data_API_medical_research_community.ipynb - identify and collect information about repositories catering to the medical research community
- re3data_API_certification_by_type.ipynb - distribution of certificates across repository types
- re3data_API_repository_APIs.ipynb - collect information on repository APIs
The notebooks can be adapted to fit other use cases. If your specific use case is not covered here, feel free to contact us.
