Summary
The Physical Science Data Infrastructure (PSDI) initiative is an EPSRC funded large scale infrastructure project. PSDI aims to enable researchers in physical sciences to handle data more easily by connecting and enhancing the different data infrastructures they use. Through PSDI researchers will be able to:
• Find and Access reference quality data from commercial and open sources
• Combine data from different sources
• Share data, software and models including experimental and simulation data
• Deploy close-to-data computation and containerisation of data and software
• Use AI to explore data
• Make the results of their research open and FAIR
