DesignSafe Data Depot Repository

The DesignSafe Data Depot Repository (DDR) is the platform for curation and publication of datasets generated in the course of natural hazards research. The DDR is an open access data repository that enables data producers to safely store, share, organize, and describe research data, towards permanent publication, distribution, and impact evaluation. The DDR allows data consumers to discover, search for, access, and reuse published data in an effort to accelerate research discovery. It is a component of the DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure, which represents a comprehensive research environment that provides cloud-based tools to manage, analyze, curate, and publish critical data for research to understand the impacts of natural hazards. DesignSafe is part of the National Science Foundation -supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI), and aligns with its mission to provide the natural hazards research community with open access, shared-use scholarship, education, and community resources aimed at supporting civil and social infrastructure prior to, during, and following natural disasters. It serves a broad national and international audience of natural hazard researchers (both engineers and social scientists), students, practitioners, policy makers, as well as the general public. It has been in operation since 2016, and also provides access to legacy data dating from about 2005. These legacy data were generated as part of the NSF-supported Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), a predecessor to NHERI. Legacy data and metadata belonging to NEES were transferred to the DDR for continuous preservation and access. As of 2023 DDR is a Core Trust Seal Certified Repository.

设计安全数据仓库（DesignSafe Data Depot Repository，简称DDR）是自然灾害研究过程中生成数据集的整理与发布平台。DDR是一个开放获取的数据仓库，它允许数据生产者安全地存储、共享、组织和描述研究数据，旨在实现数据的永久发布、分发及影响评估。DDR为数据使用者提供了发现、搜索、访问和重用已发布数据的能力，以加速研究发现的进程。它是设计安全网络基础设施的一部分，代表了一个提供云计算工具的综合研究环境，这些工具用于管理、分析、整理和发布研究理解自然灾害影响所需的关键数据。设计安全项目隶属于由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）支持的灾害工程研究基础设施（NHERI），并与该机构旨在为自然灾害研究社区提供开放获取、共享使用的学术、教育和社区资源，以支持土木和社会基础设施在自然灾害前、中、后的使命相一致。它服务于广泛的国内外自然灾害研究者（包括工程师和社会科学家）、学生、从业者、政策制定者以及公众。自2016年起，DDR已投入运营，并提供了自约2005年起的历史数据访问权限。这些历史数据作为由NSF支持的地震工程模拟网络（NEES）项目的一部分产生，NEES是NHERI的前身。NEES的遗产数据和元数据已转移到DDR，以实现持续的保护和访问。
