This project is now finished! B2Share is a trustworthy and useful way for researchers, scientific communities, and individuals to store and share a diverse range of small-scale research data. B2Share is an easy and effective means of storing, preserving and sharing data worldwide. It is a free to use tool that allows the researcher to store their data long-term in a safe and professionally controlled manner; whilst retaining their ability to define access to the data. The service is funded by the EU H2020 project EUDAT.

B2SHARE features:

• integrated with the EUDAT collaborative data infrastructure
• free upload and registration of stable research data
• data assigned a permanent identifier, which can be retraced to the data owner
• data owner defines access policy
• community-specific metadata extensions and user interfaces
• openly accessible and harvestable metadata
• representational state transfer application programming interface (REST API) for integration with community sites
• data integrity ensured by checksum during data ingest
• professionally managed storage service – no need to worry about hardware or network
• EUDAT user support
• monitoring of availability and use
