New Developments in RADAR: Safeguarding and Publishing Research Data for Long-term Usability
Abstract: RADAR, launched in 2017 as a cloud service, is a generic research data repository designed to securely archive, publish, and optionally review research data. Developed in a cooperation project funded by the DFG, it is now operated by FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure. RADAR stores data according to the BagIt
standard in a geo-redundant manner, maintaining three copies across two academic data centers, located at KIT and TU Dresden using tape archives as storage medium. With a minimum retention period of 25 years for published data and flexible archival options compliant with the DFG Code of Conduct, RADAR serves a variety of scientific disciplines.
Agile software development has driven the development of the system, resulting in numerous improvements in terms of metadata annotation and FAIRness of metadata (e.g. OAI provider, FAIR signposting, Schema.org integration, a knowledge graph, SPARQL endpoints etc.) as well as functional enhancements, especially in terms of uploading research data (e.g. WebDAV protocol support and Git integration). In addition, community-tailored publication services developed in the framework of the NFDI as well as alternative operating variants (RADAR Local and Hybrid) expand the range of services offered by RADAR and meet the needs of additional target groups. This paper provides an overview of RADAR’s technical architecture, service enhancements, and its significant role in advancing research data management.
