ERDA data sharing

ERDA supports workflows around research data sharing in several different ways.

  • To share research data once or to exchange data with colleagues outside ERDA, we recommend Share Link.
  • To share research data permanently and with transparency, we recommend Workgroup Shared Folders.
  • To share research data broadly, use Workgroups websites to add websites to the workgroup and present it to the group members or the entire internet.

Share links

  • Right click on a folder or file in Files, choose Share Link and Create.
  • Pick which combination of Read-Only and Write-Only Access to use.

Please note that when sharing single files, Read-Only Access is the sole possibility.

  • Click OK.
  • Click Open share link to see the invitation, ERDA will send to recipients. You can either send the invite via your own mail or via ERDA.
  • Click Edit and send share link to send the invite via ERDA.
  • Enter recipients' emails under Recipients and consider writing them a message.
  • Click Send invitation(s).

Workgroup shared folders

ERDA integrates project shares closely, making it easy to share files directly in Files.

All ERDA workgroups automatically have a shared folder to which all members have access. The folder is marked with a small, blue folder-icon with a white link. The contents of this folder are automatically shared with the group-members.

For this reason, carefully assess the file structure of your workgroup, to ensure that its members only have access to research data with which they are allowed to work.

Workgroup websites

Workgroups have a simple, built-in infrastructure that supports basic websites added to the project. Via these websites, the project can be presented either to its members or to the entire internet.

When you create, or become co-owner of, a workgroup, you are given access to two new folders in the group. Both folders create websites containing the files placed in them.

  • private_base - will create a website that can only be accessed by group members
  • public_base - will create a website accessible to the entire internet

Use the folders to manage the contents of the website or open the online editor via Edit-links on the project page.

Use View-links to inspect the websites.
