What is D2C2?
Our Research
We investigate and pursue innovative solutions for curation issues of organizing, facilitating access to, archiving for and preserving research data and data sets in complex environments.
Current D2C2 outcomes include interaction with the DIR which serves as a platform for investigation of data curation issues and development of applications to determine controlled access for data and to help solve data archiving and preservation problems that arise in several
research domains, such as agriculture and energy.
