Connect to Free Biomedical Datasets Through the National Library of Medicine (NLM)


Published: Friday, March 1, 2024

Read an overview of the National Library of Medicine’s launch of this new tool in Unmasking Potential: Introducing New Beta Version Tool for Biomedical Dataset Discovery. The Dataset Catalog provides access to biomedical datasets from various repositories that are based on Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data management principles.

The Dataset Catalog is designed to:

  • Allow researchers to search, discover, and retrieve biomedical datasets from many repositories
  • Standardize metadata for biomedical datasets into a linked data model that will facilitate the creation and discovery of related information
  • Push linkable metadata about biomedical datasets to the Semantic Web to facilitate data discovery in a broader environment and create relationships that might otherwise not be apparent
