The OpenINTEL project, initiated by members of DACS, has won the Research Data Netherlands Data Prize!
The data prize is awarded for, quoting, “an extraordinary contribution to science by making research data available for additional or new research”. In our case, the prize has been awarded for the OpenINTEL platform, a joint project of DACS, SURFnet, SIDN Labs and NLnetLabs and lead by Dr. Roland van Rijswijk-Deij. OpenINTEL was selected among 47 submitted projects.
The OpenINTEL platform measures, on a daily basis, the Domain Name System, that is, the telephone book of the Internet. In the almost 4 year in which the platform is in operation, OpenINTEL has given us unique datasets that lead to prestigious academic publications (e.g, IMC, Usenix Security, Journal of Selected Areas in Communications) and important collaborations (among which CAIDA-UCSD, Northeastern University, University of Maryland, TU Berlin, TU Munich).
