Dissemination Information Packages (DIPs)

Dissemination Information Packages (DIPs) are structured collections of digital data and related documentation prepared for sharing or preserving information. Think of them as comprehensive packages that include not only the data itself but also explanations, context, and metadata to help others understand and use the information effectively. DIPs ensure that data remains accessible, understandable, and usable over time, supporting data sharing, reproducibility, and long-term preservation across institutions and disciplines.
