Curated Data Collections

Curated Data Collections include some former SRDs and other data collections. These collections have been classified into five categories. 

Data Compilations Bibliographic Collections  Information Compilations Search Engines  Portals

 


Data Compilations

NIST develops and provides valuable compilations of data from the literature, NIST research, partner organizations, or any combination of the above. Some of these databases have been developed in collaboration with other organizations.
