Having been through the application process, we hope you can appreciate that CoreTrustSeal certification is both rigorous and nontrivial; only those data repositories of a sufficiently high standard are certificated.<br>
<br>
Any specific comments or notes connected with your certification are listed here:<br>

Finally, please note that certification against the Core Trustworthy Data Repositories Requirements is a necessary first step to become a Regular Member of the World Data System. If your organization is not already (applying to be) a WDS Member, then please
