Anyone can register in UDG-TAP but you need your institutional email account to access to restricted datasets. You can also Log in directly using your OpenID.
Datasets are organised in groups which corresponds to projects, interests, etc. There are two types: open and restricted access.
Some datasets have policy acceptance. That means, before applying for a group, you must accept the policies of the datasets in that group.
Restricted access groups are managed by a coordinator. The coordinator is usually a person who is involved in the group.
