The aim of ReSeeD is to offer a technical platform for the permanent storage, structuring and - if desired - publication of research data. To this end, ReSeeD will support the process of data structuring, make data easy to find, and support the sharing of data to promote re-use and thus provide a basis for sustainable research.
