What are Data Repositories and Data Storage?
Data repositories are centralized platforms or systems designed to store, preserve, and share datasets. They often provide tools for metadata creation and facilitate data discovery for reuse by others.
Data storage refers to the systems and infrastructure used to save research data during a project. It focuses on ensuring data is secure, organized, and backed up for immediate access.
