The following describes the technical specification of the UCL Research Data Repository

Research domains
The UCL RDR covers all academic research domains; the categories are organised using聽the聽听(础狈窜厂搁颁).

Unique persistant identifiers
Persistant identifiers (PIDs) are used to uniquely reference an object or individual. To identify records, the UCL RDR can assign DOIs - digital object identifiers.听A minimum set of metadata fields must be completed before a DOI can be assigned. The metadata fields comply with the聽. The UCL RDR uses the DOI to provide a full data citation to all published records; these citations may be added to data access statements in publications advising where the underlying data are located.
Users can create a hierachy of DOIs by collating individually published records - each with their own DOI - into a collection. A collection can be assigned a DOI.
To identify individuals, users can enter their聽聽helping to build a network of published research works using a combination of PIDs.
Machine interoperability聽
The UCL RDR is machine-friendly by exposing a RESTful API to its users. The UCL RDR also employs the JSON-LD standard to structure the metadata which can be interpreted by parsing the HTML headers for the JSON-LD data objects.听
