Who may use the data

Anyone may consult public metadata. Data access depends on the requested version and intended use, not only on a person's affiliation.

  • Public data may be reused by researchers, students, institutions, organisations and interested individuals within the licence terms.
  • Conditionally accessible data may require requester identification, a project description and acceptance of an agreement.
  • Commercial, administrative, teaching and research requests are assessed under the same rules declared for the dataset.
  • RODA does not assume that a particular affiliation automatically grants access, and unaffiliated users are not excluded without a data-protection reason.
