| description | The recent trend towards open data and open science as well as a demand for holistic and interdisciplinary research requires platforms
that allow the distribution and exchange of research data, including geographic information. While the requirements and benefits of
data exchange are widely discussed, there are few proposals on how to implement data platforms that not only permit the exchange of
research data among researchers, but also permit to distribute research results and data to the interest public. We elaborate what points
are important for implementing a (geographic) data repository and propose then to adopt the concept of Spatial Data Infrastructures
(SDI) as a solution for the implementation of research data repositories. We present as a case study the geographic data and document
repository of the Chilean research Centre on Sustainable Urban Development (CEDEUS), the CEDEUS Observatory. Besides the
infrastructure to host and distribute data, communication tools are an important component of such a data repository service. For this
case study we analyse which things have worked well and which things have not worked well based on the experiences collected
during three years of operation. We close with some recommendations for the implementation of data repositories for research. |
