Web
Research Data Storage (RDS) and DataStorage.nrw are object-based storage systems for research data and Web is the standard resource type in Coscine. Web resources can be created directly in each project.
Background
- Free storage financed by the DFG and the MWK NRW
- Exclusively intended for use with research data
- Condition: good research data management (e.g. projects and files provided with metadata)
Web-Storage space in Coscine
- Select an Web instance in step 1 when creating a resource
- Data upload via browser (interaction via Coscine API possible)
- Employees of participating universities have an initial 25 GB per project
- In the Storage Management of the project the storage can be increased to max. 100 GB
- If the storage is not sufficient or none is displayed, additional storage space has to be requested (see Storage Management)
Info: The RDS will be replaced by the new DataStorage.nrw storage system in July 2025. During the transition period, until 1 September 2025, it will still be possible to create RDS resources. From 1 September 2025, it will no longer be possible to create new RDS resources. Please select DataStorage.nrw resources instead.
