Dataset description form

Do you not have an NDE-compatible collection information system with which you can create a dataset description? Then use the online form below.

You fill in the requested data about your dataset step by step, such as title, license and link to the dataset. The form automatically creates a machine-readable dataset description from this.

You can then copy and publish that dataset description, for example on your own website. The functional administrator of your website can do this for you. This gives your dataset description its own URL. This is technically necessary to establish a direct connection between the dataset description and the Dataset Register. Once the dataset description is available via the URL and is registered with the Dataset Register, the Dataset Register can include it. Can your heritage organization not publish a dataset description itself? Then contact us via the contact page.

Fill in the fields as completely as possible. The more complete the description, the better it is findable for users. For many fields you will find a brief explanation. You will see this appear when you hover over the field with your mouse. Do you want to first view a completed dataset description? Then choose sample data.
