About TU Wien Research Data

TU Wien Research Data (powered by InvenioRDM 12.0) is an institution-wide platform for TU Wien researchers to share and preserve their research output. It meets institutional and legal requirements for data storage, long-term preservation, and sharing, in compliance with the FAIR principles, Open Science, and funders' demands.

Key features of the repository TU Wien Research Data are:

• Data Management: Upload and describe datasets with appropriate metadata;
• Persistent Identifiers: Get DOIs for your datasets;
• Access Control: Share data publicly, with selected collaborators, or keep it private.

Further features

We provide a set of REST APIs that allow researchers and developers to integrate data access capabilities directly into their workflows and systems. Our APIs range from querying metadata and performing advanced searches to automating data ingestion. Data-altering operations, such as creating or updating records, can be performed with token-based authentication. Read-only operations, such as retrieving metadata or performing searches, are openly accessible. This is consistent with the principles of transparent access to research data.

For step-by-step instructions, code examples, and advanced use cases, please visit the API Documentation page.

For direct access to data in our repository, we provide a plugin (the VRE Repository Connector) that integrates our repository with Jupyter Notebooks.

Once the VRE extension is installed and users authenticate with their repository access token, they can

• Search for datasets using advanced query parameters;
• Retrieve detailed metadata for analysis;
• Download files directly to notebook environments;
• Upload new datasets or update existing records.

Visit our dedicated VRE Repository Connector page for usage instructions and examples.
