Why do you want this tool added to the IEEE SA OPEN platform?:
Not all information storage tools are the same. Nextcloud is different from GitLab is different from Zenodo. Zenodo fills a gap in hosting Open Work that SA Open doesn't support well. Nextcloud is good for documents and single files. GitLab is good for code. Zenodo is a great resource for academics.
What value does this tool provide to the IEEE SA OPEN community?:
Any open community that develops or hosts data sets will likely want to use zenodo or a similar project. Zenodo seems the most well supported and widely used open source platform for hosting data sets.
