BERDL Data Atlas

Why This Section Exists

The observatory should not treat data as a passive appendix. Data pages describe what exists, how it is organized, what can be joined, which derived products are reusable, and what missing complementary data would unlock stronger science.

Facets

• Tenants organize infrastructure and ownership.
• Collections describe named database resources.
• Data types group collections by analytical role.
• Derived products identify high-value reusable artifacts created by projects.
• Joins preserve cross-collection recipes.
• Gaps record missing data that would increase the value of existing work.

High-Value Derived Data

A derived product is high value when it compresses complex raw collections into a reusable primitive: a score, label, module, mapping table, candidate list, benchmark, or validated join. The best products have stable identifiers, provenance, caveats, and visible downstream reuse.
