ITINERIS HUB
ITINERIS Hub provides a gateway to environmental research data, facilities, tools, services, and training resources.
About ITINERIS HUB
ITINERIS HUB is a web gateway to data, research facilities, analytical tools, services and training resources provided by Italian environmental research infrastructures (RIs). The site states that it links 22 such infrastructures. Its homepage lists 41,316 datasets, 68 services, 305 research products, 21 providers, 8 virtual research environments and 1 training resource. The resources cover atmosphere, marine, terrestrial biosphere and geosphere research.
The HUB brings several components together. Its metadata catalogue supports discovery of resources from multiple RIs using harmonised metadata. A metadata hub offers a geospatial visualization tool and access to connected datasets. An access platform lets users submit applications to access datasets and services offered by RIs. Virtual research environments combine RI data flows, analysis tools and users' own data. A training section lists courses, events and learning material, and a terminology service provides controlled vocabularies, thesauri and ontologies. The site describes its resources as freely accessible under FAIR and open science principles. It also states that the catalogue uses secure authentication and role-based access control and is aligned with GDPR. These are the site's own statements and do not guarantee any level of security or compliance. Individual researchers cannot currently deposit output directly; the HUB publishes resources from participating RIs, and direct deposit may be possible through their institutions or RIs. Pricing is not stated.
