Registration
Registration to the Research Data Management System takes place via Shibboleth with the central user account. After the initial registration, it may take up to ten minutes for the system to synchronize with the IdMS and for datasets to be created.Organizational Units
The data stored in the Research Data Management System is assigned to a working group or department ("Organizations"). Researchers can create datasets within their organizational unit.Datasets and Resources
The data in the Research Data Management System is organized into datasets and resources. A dataset is a unit of data (resources) that is thematically complete in some form. A dataset is described with metadata (authorship, license, tags, description, etc.) to ensure findability and reusability. It can contain any number of data (resources). A resource, for example, is a table or image file. A resource is always associated with a dataset.Dataset Visibility
A dataset can have the visibility "private" or "public".- "private": The dataset is not private, but is visible to all persons from the same organization. It is not accessible to persons from other organizations or to unregistered users.
- "public": The dataset is accessible without registration.
