§1 General

1. The research data repository WueData is a web-based service of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) for publishing and archiving research data.
2. RADAR Local is used as software. The technical administration is carried out by the Information and Technology Centre of the JMU in cooperation with FIZ Karlsruhe. The data is stored on the local IT infrastructure of the JMU’s Information and Technology Centre. The University Library of the JMU is responsible for the data curation.
3. The research data repository serves the physical preservation of the uploaded digital objects (bitstream preservation). The JMU guarantees the proper safekeeping of the uploaded data for 10 years.
4. Research data and metadata records are backed up daily and kept spatially separated in multiple copies. The JMU ensures that WueData works without interruptions as far as possible. The JMU will make every effort to give notice before deliberately interrupting access to or deleting data packages, but cannot guarantee this.

§2 Criteria to use WueData

1. Members of JMU chairs (hereinafter: data providers) are entitled to use WueData, given that any costs are covered. Other scientists may be admitted upon request.
2. Research data and other supplementing materials (hereinafter: data packages) generated by or with the collaboration of scientists of the JMU can be published and archived in WueData.
3. Personal or personally identifiable data shall not be uploaded to the repository. Before uploading, the data packages must be anonymized in such a way that it is not possible to identify individuals. The data providers are responsible for anonymization.

2. Illegal content must not be uploaded to the research data repository.
3. The data providers are obliged to anonymize personal and personally identifiable data.
4. The data providers shall also ensure that the publishing and archiving of the uploaded data in the repository does not violate the rights of third parties. In particular, data providers shall ensure that cooperation partners or other persons with legal positions related to the research data give their consent to a publication in WueData and transfer any necessary rights of use.
