Of particular interest to the Culture Community, the NFDI4Culture Registry service collects metadata about existing research tools and data services, and provides a simple overview and detailed information about the resources.

In addition, the Registry enables researchers to access these resources in order to promote the re-use and further development of existing tools and services. All metadata included will be published under an open licence, and all tools and services will be given a unique identifier to enable referencing. Software and service reviews will also be included to assess, promote and highlight the reliability of research tools and data services against the FAIR principles.

In the future, the community itself will also be able to create research software and data services directly via this portal.
