The objective of the NorStore project is to provide infrastructure in Norway for the curation of digital scientific data. The infrastructure must provide services for easy and secure access to distributed storage resources, facilitate the creation and use of digital scientific repositories, provide large aggregate capacities for storage and data transfer, and optimize the utilization of the overall storage capacity.
Long-term objectives of the NorStore project include:
- to operate a reliable infrastructure for the storage of digital data for Norwegian research
- deploy and enable the development of services for data curation that add value to the existing e-Infrastructure
- provide capacity and services for the long-term storage of digital data
- to facilitate the establishment of digital scientific repositories in a broad range of scientific and technological applications
- to enable the Norwegian research community to (automatically) benefit from the advances in storage technologies
- contribute to the unification of interfaces to storage resources within Norway and abroad.
The project is funded in part by the Research Council of Norway through the eVITA programme on e-Science.
