Submit to the Toolbox

There are 4 steps to submit your tool:

  1. Get acquainted with the DSSC Blueprint. It includes the building blocks that provide the functional and technical requirements for your tool.

  2. Download the templates from the section below:

    • The metadata template

    • The self-assessment template. Use template 2a for technical tools and template 2b for business and organizational support tools.

  3. Fill in the templates

  4. Submit the template via the DSSC support system here: submission form

The DSSC-team will evaluate your submission and communicate the results by email within 3 to 4 weeks. If the evaluation is successful, the tool will be listed in the Toolbox.
