Linked datasets

The IPCC DDC has implemented a procedure for evaluating datasets held at other sites and linking to those that satisfy a range of criteria on quality, relevance to the IPCC and usefulness to the users of the DDC. A full specification of the process is given provided in the linking criteria specification. The process starts with the completion of a questionnaire (spreadsheet). Links to datasets which pass are posted throughout the site. This page gives a comprehensive list, together with the completed questionnaires and associated evaluation reports.
