add other nordic services similar to dataverse.no

[wikfeldt]

would be good if participants in all nordic countries can get a useful pointer to services they can use

In norway, https://archive.norstore.no/ (NIRD archive is also widely used by some communities)

here's a (google-translated) answer to a question I sent to a person working at the KTH library:
"""
In Sweden there is the Swedish National Data Service, which so far has mainly made available research data in the social sciences and the humanities, but they have received funding from VR to expand and become a national data service with the ambition to cover all research areas. [removed text]. Their web: snd.gu.se
 
Then there are also some more subject-specific data repositories / support organizations such as:
ICOS for climate data: http://www.icos-sweden.se/
Bolin center climate / geodata: https://bolin.su.se/data/
NBIS for life science (sequence –omics data) https://nbis.se/infrastructure/
Is there a list of repositories in Sweden here:
https://www.re3data.org/search?query=&countries[]=SWE
"""

Thank you!

Here's what I say (Finland): 1. Use a domain-specific repository for your type of data. If you work in a field, you probably know what they are, but you can use the [registery of research data repositories](https://www.re3data.org/) to search for repositories. Consider their characteristics, because not every repository is equally good: does it make your data citeable? Does it have a long-term plan? 2. Use a general-purpose international repository. We recommend Zenodo, for ease of use and public support. 3. Use a national service. The common ones in Finland are [IDA](https://ida.fairdata.fi/login) for general data and [FSD](https://www.fsd.uta.fi/en/) for social data. These should be considered first if data won't be open, since they have some options for non-open data. For more information on Finnish resources for open data, see [https://www.fairdata.fi/en/](fairdata.fi).

…

----- The first two steps are obviously not Finland-specific. I (and some others here) recommend international resources first, for visibility and also because the larger something is, the longer term it can be expected to be around and maintained.

Actually this does not fit so well anymore into this lesson after it has been reorganized in December - but perhaps fits much better into https://coderefinery.github.io/reproducible-research/02-organizing-projects/?

[annefou]

Yes and what about having a real section on data management (not only project organisation)?

[bast]

I agree, AFAIU our goal is to develop a real stand-alone session on this.

We asked our participants in Aalborg with the following results (not all nordic):

https://transparency.entsoe.eu/ (electrical grid data, EU)
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ (Economic data)
http://brugstedet.dk/ (danish portal for sharing geographical data)
https://data.chhs.ca.gov/ California health and human services open data portal
https://www.gapminder.org/data/ Data from the Gapminder project
https://www.kaggle.com/ Datasets for data science challenges

I think this should be in reproducible research and linked to from "Social coding". I am moving the issue.
