The EU-project EUDAT has developed a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) which allows researchers to share data within and between communities. ENES is involved in EUDAT via the Partners CERFACS, DKRZ and MPI-M. EUDAT services are available now. In principle, every EUDAT service is interesting for the climate community. Since they are many, we focus on two here:

B2FIND is an easy to use search service across communities.

• Easily find collections of scientific data, generated either by various communities or via EUDAT services
• No registration necessary
• Current status:
• Metadata available from 13 communities
• > 600000 datasets

B2SHARE enables scientists to store smaller datasets and share them with other researchers.

• Free upload of stable research data
• Long-term persistence of data
• Data owner defines access policy
• Openly accessible and harvestable metadata
