  3. B2SHARE is part of the CDI and directly connected to the B2DROP and B2SAFE services for data import and export Several other services such as B2HANDLE and B2NOTE are connected to store persistent identifiers and add annotation like provenance data B2ACCESS is used for authentication and in the future also authorization B2FIND for metadata harvesting, so that your records and metadata can be found in more general publication search services

  6. The benefits of B2SHARE are as follows: Data is hosted, so you don’t have to worry about hardware or network issues All data objects are automatically assigned a persistent identifier, one for each version, so that these objects can be easily found and always be traced to the original depositor Data is stored alongside queryable & findable metadata. All metadata is automatically harvested by the EUDAT B2FIND service and is therefore easily discoverable even outside EUDAT premises Data is managed and stored by a EUDAT or external data centre to guarantee long-term preservation
