The Translational Data Catalog - discoverable biomedical datasets.

ABSTRACT: The discoverability of datasets resulting from the diverse range of translational and biomedical projects remains sporadic. It is especially difficult for datasets emerging from pre-competitive projects, often due to the legal constraints of data-sharing agreements, and the different priorities of the private and public sectors. The Translational Data Catalog is a single discovery point for the projects and datasets produced by a number of major research programmes funded by the European Commission. Funded by and rooted in a number of these European private-public partnership projects, the Data Catalog is built on FAIR-enabling community standards, and its mission is to ensure that datasets are findable and accessible by machines. Here we present its creation, content, value and adoption, as well as the next steps for sustainability within the ELIXIR ecosystem.
