The aim of this platform is to combine already existing data collected by the clusters Kiel Marine Science, Kiel Life Science and SECC in order to develop and establish an inter-disciplinary data management for the entire scientific field. The Kiel Data Management Infrastructure (KDMI) for the Marine Science and the DFG-project 'Pubflow', led by the Computational Sciences Center, provide a fundamental framework for managing scientific data at Kiel University.
