British Library

Leverage the Library’s collections and expertise to drive innovation in large-scale data analytics, for the wider benefit of UK research

• Providing our digital collections as ‘data’– http://labs.bl.uk/– http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/datafree.html

• Alan Turing Institute will be physically hosted in the British Library building

A web-based, curated and searchable portal where biological

standards and databases are registered, linked and discoverable.

We monitor the development and evolution of standards, their use in

databases and the adoption of both in data policies.

Researchers, developers and

curators lack support and guidance on

which format or checklist standards to

use, or database to deposit their data.

Journal publishers, funders and

librarians do not have enough

information to make informed decisions

on which content standards or database

to recommended in policies, or fund or

implement.
