DataLad-Registry: Bringing Benefits of Centrality to DataLad

DataLad-Registry is a service that maintains up-to-date information on over ten thousand datasets, with the collection expanding as more datasets are added. This talk will explore how DataLad-Registry automatically registers datasets from the internet, extracts metadata from them, and keeps these datasets and their corresponding metadata up-to-date. We’ll showcase the datasets and metadata types currently available within DataLad-Registry and demonstrate the service’s search capability. Additionally, we’ll provide an overview of the API and reveal the underlying service components of DataLad-Registry. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on ongoing and future developments, inviting audience input to shape the future of DataLad-Registry.
