Abstract

Effective research data management solutions and infrastructures are crucial for ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and reusability of research data, not only to facilitate the verification and validation of discoveries but also to reduce or even avoid experimental redundancy. We present our first implementation steps of the Fair Digital Object Framework for RADAR, a generic research data repository, and discuss our experience with several approaches as well as their benefits and shortcomings. By embedding signposted typed link headers in our landing pages we increased the interoperability by making them machine-readable and -actionable, enabling the new data visiting paradigm additionally to metadata harvesting using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.
