data.ac.uk


What is data in .ac.uk?

Research Data - Library Data - Catalogue Data - Staff & Student Data - Big Data - Private Data - Open Data - Linked Data - Published Data - Managed Data - Performance Data

...or to put it another way, too many different facets for one website to cope with.

So why data.ac.uk?

To provide subdomains for .ac.uk data relevant to the entire domain which are based on function not project or institution names. Some possible examples: courses.data.ac.uk, organisations.data.ac.uk, publications.data.ac.uk, facilities.data.ac.uk, crystalography.data.ac.uk etc.

data.ac.uk Community

The community is currently largely based around the ac.uk linked data community, but is open to all interested parties.
