Detailed description of the service 

The NFDI4Ing Data Ingest Service allows researchers to publish and search for research data from the fields of civil engineering, architecture and urbanism. It allows users to attach metadata on a domain-specific level using application profiles based on RDF and it automatically generates previews for large 2D and 3D data files.

In order to upload data a registration via DFN-AAI or ORCID is required. You can choose an existing metadata profile and upload data files or contact the service to add your specific requirements. The service automatically extracts metadata from known data formats and stores it as RDF data. Additional metadata can be added manually. The metadata is also used to generate a search across all published data sets, offering several filters and options to find suitable datasets.

Ing.est provides a REST-API that allows users to interact with the service programmatically. Using the API, you can perform operations such as detecting file formats or converting data into the supported target formats. A SPARQL endpoint is also available to flexibly query metadata of published datasets using any SPARQL compliant client software.
