Data download Duplication Alert System (DDAS)

Source

Source summary

Develop a dataset-download duplication alert for institutes and research organisations. Maintain download metadata and use history or unique identifiers to recognise a dataset even under another filename. Before downloading, notify users of an existing copy in institutional repositories or user accounts, including its location, timestamp, period and spatial coverage. The source envisages applicability across research, academia, government and other sectors.
