Integration of research databases with external repositories

Purpose

1. Automate the seamless integration of research databases with external repositories to enable synchronized, secure, and real-time exchange of datasets, metadata, publications, and analytical reports.

2. Enable research institutes to automate compliance with open data mandates, centralize data cataloging, facilitate automated archiving, and automatedly enhance data discoverability across platforms.

Trigger Conditions

1. New research data entry or dataset modification event.

2. Scheduled timestamp (daily, weekly, monthly) for batch synchronization automation.

3. External repository update or API webhook event—automated polling or push notification.

4. Automated trigger upon publication acceptance or embargo expiration.

Benefits

1. Automates compliance reporting and open data mandates for research funding bodies.

2. Reduces manual intervention, automating synchronization and backup across platforms.

3. Facilitates automatedly real-time availability and discoverability of research outputs.

4. Lowers data loss risk through automated multi-repository redundancy.

5. Streamlines data flow, automating research lifecycle management from collection to publication.
