Registry for Tools & Services

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.

What is covered?

The NFDI4Culture registry records software and software-based services (data portals, data repositories, web applications) that are relevant for scientific use by the specialised communities of NFDI4Culture (https://nfdi4culture.de/de/ueber-uns/communities.html) and can be reused by them.

How are these collected?

If your software or service fulfils the above criteria and you would like to make it more visible to the specialist communities via the NFDI4Culture registry, please contact us (sven.peter[at]uni-koeln.de or anastasia.wawilow[at]upb.de).

If possible, please provide us with the following information:

• name of the software or service
• description of the service
• external links, e. g. to the project website, code repository or URL to the web application or download link for software
• institution providing the service
• scientific disciplines to which the service is primarily directed
• research activities that are supported (if possible using the TaDiRAH taxonomy vocabs.dariah.eu/tadirah)
• logo and/or image to illustrate the offer

We will contact you as soon as possible to discuss what further information we may need to include your proposal in the NFDI4Culture Registry.

Show the world that your software or data service is listed on NFDI4Culture!

Integrate the NFDI4Culture registry badge into your project website or GitHub readme and make your project even more impressive! The badge is more than just a decorative accessory. With the badge, you communicate that your offer is relevant to the NFDI4Culture community (https://nfdi4culture.de/about-us/communities.html) and that you support the implementation of the FAIR principles in science.
