Examples include genetic data, space exploration data, satellite data\u00a0and big data in general.<br>Researchers mostly prefer to upload their data to disciplinary repositories, if they exist, because these are familiar to their scientific community. Thus, not all data collected at the University of Tartu is in the UT data repository.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThere are also some subject repositories in Estonia, such as the data management platform <a data-url=\"https:\/\/plutof.ut.ee\/\" href=\"https:\/\/plutof.ut.ee\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">PlutoF<\/a> for biodiversity data, the geoscience collections database <a data-url=\"http:\/\/geokogud.info\/\" href=\"http:\/\/geokogud.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">SARV<\/a> and a smart repository <a data-url=\"https:\/\/qsardb.org\/\" href=\"https:\/\/qsardb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">QsarDB<\/a> for (Q)SAR\/QSPR models and datasets.\u00a0In most cases, smaller subject-specific repositories are integrated with larger networks, so the Center of Estonian Language Resources (<a data-url=\"https:\/\/keeleressursid.ee\/en\/\" href=\"https:\/\/keeleressursid.ee\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">CERL<\/a>) is part of the <a data-url=\"https:\/\/www.clarin.eu\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clarin.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">CLARIN-ERIC<\/a> repository network.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Universal multidisciplinary repositories<\/strong> are very well known, as all researchers can upload their data and, therefore, thousands of datasets are available.
