Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure
PSDI aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use.
Connecting Digital Research Infrastructures for the Physical Sciences
The aim of PSDI is to enable researchers in the physical sciences to handle data more easily by connecting the different data infrastructures they use. PSDI will connect and enhance existing infrastructure in Physical Sciences.
Through PSDI researchers will be able to:
- Find and Access reference quality data from commercial and open sources
- Combine data from different sources
- Share data, software and models including experimental and simulation data
- Use AI to explore data
- Learn how to make the results of their research open and FAIR
The current phase of PSDI, Phase 2, which started in January 2024 continues to build upon the work carried out in The Pilot and Phase 1 of the project
In the pilot phase we undertook community engagement, scoping and design work and as an output of the pilot work we produced a series of recommendations. In Phase 2, we focused on activities aiding the establishment of PSDI whilst continuing community engagement activities.
