Etsin is a research data finder that contains descriptive information that is, metadata on research datasets. In the service
you can search and find data from various fields of research. A researcher, research group or organisation can use Etsin to
publish information on their datasets and offer them for wider use. The metadata contained in Etsin makes it easy for anyone
to discover the datasets. Etsin assigns a permanent URN identifier to datasets, making it possible to link to the dataset
and gather merit through its publication and use.The metadata enables users to search for datasets and evaluate the potential
for reuse. Etsin includes a description of the dataset, keywords and various dataset identifiers. The dataset information
includes, for example, its subject, language, author, owner and how it is licensed for reuse. Good description of data plays
an important role in its discoverability and visibility. Etsin encourages comprehensive descriptions by adapting a common
set of discipline independent metadata fields and by making it easy to enter metadata.Etsin only collects metadata on datasets,
not the data themselves. Anyone may browse and read the metadata. Etsin can be used with a browser or through an open interface
(API). The service is discipline independent and free to use. Etsin is a service provided by the Ministry of Education and
Culture to actors in the Finnish research system. The service is produced by CSC IT Center for Science (CSC). Customer service
contacts and feedback is available through servicedesk@csc.fi. The service maintenance window is on the fourth Monday of every
month between 4 and 6 PM (EET). During that time, the service will be out of use.
