Active Data Management
Tools for active data management - disciplinary and cross disciplinary
Active data: data that is able to evolve and be monitored
Active data management tools: technical tools and software used by researchers to organise (and analyse in a very light way) active data
All inclusives
| Tool | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Open Science Framework | A comprehensive platform for running research projects, some capabilities include: managing project, sharing files, project analytics, archiving data, control access and collaboration. | https://osf.io/ |
Active repositories/catalogues and software
| Tool | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| DataVault | Software platform that allows researchers to select, describe, and package their data for long term archival storage. The Data Vault platform will then manage the transfer of the data archive packages into the archival storage (local or cloud), subsequent data access requests, their retention and review, and ultimately their deletion if no longer required. | http://datavaultplatform.org/ |
| Trunk DB | A cloud-hosted database as service. | https://trunkdb.com |
| myExperiment | A collaborative environment where scientists can safely publish their workflows and in silico experiments, share them with groups and find those of others. | http://www.myexperiment.org |
| ChemBioHub | ChemiReg (record, index and search compounds), InventoryReg (keep track of items in the lab) | https://chembiohub.ox.ac.uk/ |
| iRODS | The Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System (iRODS) is open source data management software for storing, searching, organizing, and sharing files and datasets that are large, important, and complex. | http://irods.org/ |
