Submitting Data to CV RDC and Ultimately to CEDEN

Getting your data into CEDEN is a two phase process. The first phase involves working with a Regional Data Center, like the CV RDC, to make sure your data are in the proper format for CEDEN. The second phase involves giving the CV RDC permission to export your data to CEDEN. The CV RDC maintains a large database which is a subset of the data in CEDEN. The CV RDC will work with you to ensure that the format of your data and naming conventions follow the rules required to export your data to CEDEN. Once you make all the necessary edits to become CEDEN comparable your data can be exported to CEDEN and displayed on the CEDEN webpage. The following six steps are used as guidance for submitting data to the CV RDC and ultimately to CEDEN:
