This is a WEHI only event.DataHub: A Simpler Way to Manage Research Data
Julie IskanderWEHI
Research data often moves through instruments, temporary storage, project workspaces and multiple collaborators before it is ready for long-term retention. As projects grow, it can become difficult to identify the authoritative copy, manage access, understand ownership and know which data are protected. This talk introduces DataHub from a researcher's perspective. We will explain how DataHub connects datasets, projects, data sources and research teams; distinguish active project workspaces from the long-term dataset repository; and show how access, metadata, backup and retention fit into everyday research workflows. We will also demonstrate the researcher experience and outline how facilities and data sources are being onboarded. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of where their data belongs, what DataHub manages for them and how to get started.
