Comparison of the Dataset Finder, Zenodo, EBRAINS, and MGI.
| CATEGORY | DATASET FINDER | ZENODO | EBRAINS | MGI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domain | Production and data management. | Universal, no domain focus. | Neuroscience. | Materials science. |
| Timing of (Meta)Data Availability | Immediately after DMP completion. | Post-project, later in process. | Post-project, later in process. | Post-project, later in process. |
| Integration | Displays DMP metadata; external storage (e.g., Zenodo). | Long-term archive. | Neuroscience-specific repositories. | Materials science repositories. |
| Reach | Controlled cross-institute visibility. | Communities, open or restricted. | Open or restricted. | Open or restricted. |
| Data Owner Effort | Automated from DMPs, no manual entry. | Manual data and metadata upload. | Manual data and metadata upload. | Manual data and metadata upload. |
