National Fairdata service package consists of services that support the discoverability, preservation, and management of materials.
 

The Fairdata service consists of four parts:

• IDA research data processing and storage service
• Etsin research data search service
• Qvain research data description tool
• Fairdata PAS long-term storage service

• The service implements Fairdata principles, according to which research data must be discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

The IDA research data storage service (ida.fairdata.fi) is a secure and continuous research data storage service that is part of the Fairdata ecosystem.

IDA – Store and organize your research data before publishing it

• Suitable for storing and organizing data during the research phase
• However, IDA itself cannot process data; modified datasets must be stored there again
• Sharing data among user groups
• Storing data in an unaltered state
• and publishing data as described research material.
• IDA assigns a permanent identifier to published material.
• Files of published research material can be made openly available for others to download or with a license, or only descriptive information, i.e., metadata, can be published.
