The DFG project ‘Research Data Repository’ '''RADAR''' aims at deploying and establishing an infrastructure for both scientific data archiving and scientific data publication to support various research areas in scientific data management. Within the project a first low level approach will be developed which addresses basic archive functionalities. Later on, the offer is to be extended in order to provide an archive system which is adaptable to specific research areas and includes scientific data publication services. The project will use the infrastructue developed in the '''bwDataArchiv''' project. |

The development of large scale archive services now underway.
Within the coming years it is planned to enhance the LSDF with:
- An Easy-to-use interface for deposit and update
- Access to files via persistent URLs. Collections can be openly accessible or available to administrators only.
- Support for specific file types and raw data
- Permanent storage with tools for long-term management
Archival Projects
Several projects have started to make this happen. Research for large scale data management at KIT is contributing to the development of efficient and secure long time storage of petabytes of data. In the programme Supercomputing and Big Data of the Helmholtz Association the close collaboration with a multiple scientific communities resulted in clear requirements for future data management including the need to archive big datasets along with tools for provenance and curation. The archival projects at KIT strive to offer a reliable, dependable and above all easy to use service for scientists.

Research and development
What else? The long-term vision is a standardization of preservation services and their application programming interfaces (APIs). The implementation of these services is not ready but many such services, or component services which can be brought together to produce the required results, already exist at the LSDF.
In addition we seek to guarantee that trust in the quality of the services is quantified using reproducible preservation metrics.
