Deliverable 4.3. POLARIN data portal, preliminary design of the POLARIN Data hub and its features

POLARIN’s overall aim is to provide efficient and customised research infrastructure (RI) services to address the scientific challenges of the polar regions. This includes offering access to a wide portfolio of complementary and interdisciplinary top level RIs. By integrating polar RI capacities, POLARIN facilitates scientific research to understand and predicting key processes in polar regions in the context of climate changes. This effort enhances society’s problem-solving capacity and support evidencebased policy making. One of POLARIN’s four core services is improving access to data and developing online services and data products (WP4). This deliverable focuses on implementing this service through a front-end data portal designed to help users find polar data tailored to their needs. This document describes the preliminary design of the POLARIN Data Hub and its features.
