Why was the DOE Data Explorer developed?
The DOE Data Explorer was envisioned as a way to guide users to DOE-sponsored data wherever it resides, regardless of the non-text format it takes, and across all of DOE science research disciplines. It is intended to be particularly useful to students, the public, and to researchers who are new to a field or looking for data outside of their normal field of expertise. The DOE Data Explorer makes it easier to locate data collections at user facilities, on pages maintained by groups within the laboratories, or DOE-sponsored data found on university Web pages.
