Developing Data Infrastructures by Bruce Becker

Scope

This collection covers data federations, and data repositories as well as archival data for research communities, with articles relevant to the development of services in the context of a national or regional data infrastructure.

Biases

This collection is aimed at creating a body of knowledge applicable to those who would build data infrastructures themselves - particularly in the case of countries or regions where no such infrastructure yet exists. The collection is biased towards research into usage and experience of data infrastructures but also covers implementation and performance aspects. Rather than track the state of the art of these infrastructures, we focus on the best practice and experience of research communities of these infrastructures.
