University of Liverpool Research Data Catalogue

The Data Catalogue is a service that allows University of Liverpool Researchers to create records of information about their finalised research data, and save those data in a secure online environment. The Data Catalogue provides a good means of making that data available in a structured way, in a form that can be discovered by both general search engines and academic search tools. There are two types of record that can be created in the Data Catalogue: A discovery-only record – in these cases, the research data may be held somewhere else but a record is provided to help people find it. A record is created that alerts users to the existence of the data, and provides a link to where those data are held. A discovery and data record – in these cases, a record is created to help people discover the data exist, and the data themselves are deposited into the Data Catalogue. This process creates a unique Digital Object identifier (DOI) which can be used in citations to the data.

该数据目录是一项服务，旨在为利物浦大学的科研人员提供创建关于其最终研究成果数据信息的记录，并将这些数据安全地存储在在线环境中的功能。数据目录为数据的结构化提供了一种良好的手段，使其既能被通用搜索引擎发现，亦能被学术搜索工具检索。在数据目录中，可以创建两种类型的记录：一种仅为发现目的的记录——在这些情况下，研究数据可能存储在其他地方，但会提供记录以帮助人们找到它们。此类记录旨在向用户通报数据的存在，并提供指向数据存储位置的链接。另一种为发现与数据记录——在这种情况下，创建记录旨在帮助人们发现数据的存在，并将数据本身存入数据目录。此过程生成一个独特的数字对象标识符（DOI），可用于数据的引用。
