Dilibri is the digitized collection of regional studies literature related to Rhineland-Palatinate and of imprints preserved at Rhineland-Palatine libraries. The interface is available in English, German or French with the manuscripts being a mixture of French and German.

MDM-Portal (Medical Data-Models) is a meta-data registry for creating, analysing, sharing and reusing medical forms, developed by the Institute of Medical Informatics, Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany. see also https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0044-1786839 Electronic forms for documentation of patient data are an integral part within the workflow of physicians. A huge amount of data is collected either through routine documentation forms (EHRs) for electronic health records or as case report forms (CRFs) for clinical trials. This raises major scientific challenges for health care, since different health information systems are not necessarily compatible with each other and thus information exchange of structured data is hampered. Software vendors provide a variety of individual documentation forms according to their standard contracts, which function as isolated applications. Furthermore, free availability of those forms is rarely the case. Currently less than 5 % of medical forms are freely accessible. Based on this lack of transparency harmonization of data models in health care is extremely cumbersome, thus work and know-how of completed clinical trials and routine documentation in hospitals are hard to be re-used. The MDM-Portal serves as an infrastructure for academic (non-commercial) medical research to contribute a solution to this problem. It already contains more than 25,000 system-independent forms (CDISC ODM Format, www.cdisc.org, Operational Data Model) with more than 600,000 data-elements. This enables researchers to view, discuss, download and export forms in most common technical formats such as PDF, CSV, Excel, SQL, SPSS, R, etc. A growing user community will lead to a growing database of medical forms. In this matter, we would like to encourage all medical researchers to register and add forms and discuss existing forms.

The ETOX database allows access to effects information from aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicology. Furthermore, ETOX contains information on various national and international environmental quality guidelines, targets, standards, criteria, and limit values. In focus are substances which are relevant for assessment of surface water pollution to trigger the development of environmental quality standards according to Water Framework Directive 60/2000/EC.

nmrshiftdb2 is an NMR database for organic structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. It allows for spectrum prediction (13C, 1H and other nuclei) as well as for searching spectra, structures and other properties. It also features peer-reviewed submission of datasets by its users. The nmrshiftdb2 software is open source, the data is published under an open content license.

The repository is used for the publication, the proof and the long-term archiving of electronic documents. The interface is available in German and English.
