Because the lack of hassle-free legal integration and redistribution of data is a fundamental barrier in science, the community wrote to the NIH Scientific Data Council to ask for partnership in helping to solve this issue. If you would like to sign the letter, please do so here.
To make a formal request, add a resource, create a pull request for an edit, or for general questions please use our issue tracker.
For more general discussion about the issues surrounding (re)usable data, please feel free to join our Google Group.
The (Re)usable Data Project and reusabledata.org was developed as part of the NCATS Biomedical Data Translator and the Monarch Initiative, where the reuse and free redistribution of publicly available data for disease discovery was burdensome. The (Re)usable Data Project was created to help others navigate the legal synthesis and redistribution of public data and to help data providers make it easier for others to use and reuse their data.
We are grateful to the many original sources of our data for allowing their integration.
