Project:
Research projects are at the heart of Coscine. Each project forms a unit to which other participants can be invited in accordance with the rights and roles concept.
Resources:
So-called resources can be created within a project. Some resource types (Web, S3, and WORM) offer storage space so that both research data and metadata can be stored.
Data:
Depending on the resource type, files including descriptive metadata can be uploaded via the web interface, API, or S3 clients.
Archiving:
(Meta)data can be stored in Coscine for up to ten years after the end of the project.
Short Introduction to Coscine
As part of Love Data Week 2024, a presentation was given on Coscine, in which general functions, new features and upcoming developments were discussed. You are welcome to watch the recording of this presentation on YouTube to get a first impression of Coscine as an RDM platform. The video is in german, though we are working on a translation.
