Data exists. We're indexing it.
Datasets are scattered across institutions, organisations, repositories and systems. DatasetIndex is the tool to find them — and the platform to share them.
One index.
Two ways to use it.
Use DatasetIndex as a tool when you need to find the right data fast. Use it as a platform when you want your data to be found, trusted and built upon.
