Data Nodes Network Workshop – WP10.2

from to
Events

One of the aims of ELIXIR is to establish a network of data Nodes (Nodes with large data collections and databases with established way of data deposition and curation) to enable scalable data storage and their transferability by means of standardised formats.

In this task, we will focus on establishing guidelines and good practices to facilitate efficient data collection into core data resources (cf. WP3), primarily focusing on data needed for selected Use Cases (WP6 to 9). This is tightly linked with IT solution by means of storage, dedicated networks and  connections (cf. WP4). A distributed network following the same standards will also simplify international.

This task both includes creation of routes for data publishing in a uniform manner across ELIXIR with data Nodes in each country and includes data repositories for replication of reference data allowing for fast access. The setting up of a data Nodes network has been identified by the technical experts within ELIXIR as a prioritised area.

The format is 2-day meeting lunch to lunch. We estimate number of participants to be maximum 30. We hope to get the involved WPs represented – at least WP4, WP5, WP9, WP10, WP11.
