DTR - EOSC Data Type Registry

The EOSC Data Type Registry (DTR) allows the registration of many different data types. The goal is to achieve a high degree in machine actionability and interoperability in the management of structured research data. Each data type is assigned a persistent identifier for unambiguous identification, along with a set of provenance information and type specific fields. The DTR component includes an additional service called the TypeAPI, which adds functionalities to further work with the registered types. Using this tool, the JSON schemas for types describing metadata elements can be generated to allow the validation of objects that supposed to are of a certain type.
