BERD@NFDI is an initiative to build a powerful platform for collecting, (pre-)processing, analyzing and preserving Business, Economic and Related Data – all in one place. We will facilitate the integrated management of algorithms and data along the whole research cycle, with a special focus on unstructured (big) data such as video, image, audio, text or mobile data.

BERD@NFDI will provide infrastructures to the challenges of the expanded empirical research. We will not only foster community building, offer publicly available and online accessible data sets, and enhance data documentation and preservation guided by the FAIR principles. We will also provide an algorithm repository and benchmarks, computing and storage power to analyze (big) data as well as a broad set of APIs to interact with external systems.
