About

EnviDat is the environmental data portal developed at the WSL (EnviDat@wsl.ch)

Mission Statement: EnviDat is the WSL data portal providing unified and managed access to environmental monitoring and research data. EnviDat has the capability to host and publish data sets.

Project Description

The EnviDat project aims at developing an efficient, unified and managed access portal for WSL's rich reservoir of environmental monitoring and research data, according to the data policy of WSL. EnviDat is designed as a portal to publish, connect and search across existing data, rather than as a large data centre. The responsibility to curate research data remains with the original data providers.

We aim to participate with related initiatives within the ETH domain and Swiss universities. A mid- to long-term goal is to extend the EnviDat system service to entire ETH domain and possibly other environmental research institutes. Currently we collaborate with EAWAG. EnviDat is the data portal that holds in trust all data sets from projects funded by the CCES.

 

Key Objectives

  • Provide access to WSL datasets and metadata records;

  • Provide the technical means to publish datasets and assign DOIs;

  • Support data-management based on a decentralised structure.
