What is B2SAFE

The EUDAT B2SAFE Service offers functionality to replicate datasets across different data centres in a safe and efficient way while maintaining all information required to easily find and query information about the replica locations. The information about the replica locations and other important information is stored in PID (Persistent IDentifier) records, each managed in separate administrative domains.
