re3data is a global registry providing detailed descriptions of more than 2800 research data repositories. These descriptions are based on the re3data Metadata Schema and can be accessed via the re3data API.
There are many conceivable use cases for re3data metadata. In this GitHub repository, we provide some examples for using the re3data API that can be adapted to fit other use cases.
The example use cases are implemented in R and Python using Jupyter Notebooks, which can be run in binder (see link above).
Examples are implemented in R and Python. The repository is structured as follows:
- examples-r - R implementation of the example use cases
- examples-python - Python implementation of the example use cases
Currently, we provide notebooks for three example use cases:
- 01_re3data_API_medical_research_community.ipynb - identify and collect information about repositories catering to the medical research community
- 02_re3data_API_certification_by_type.ipynb - distribution of certificates across repository types
- 03_re3data_API_repository_APIs.ipynb - collect information on repository APIs
