Databases at SOFI
An important part of the work at SOFI is the collection of research data of various kinds. Some of Sweden's most valuable research data materials have been prepared at SOFI. A stated policy at SOFI is to make the materials available for the research community within a reasonable time after the collection. The data materials are therefore eventually deposited at the Swedish National Data Service (SND).
