Research Data Discoverability
Metadata is used to describe the underlying datasets and tools so that all research data, whether raw and unstructured or processed and complete, is discoverable through the web portal.
Knowledge Continuity
Research groups experience a constant flux of incoming and outgoing researchers. Having a platform that preserves acquired knowledge and facilitates ease of its transference, ensures the continuity of knowledge within research groups.
Long-term Data Preservation
All digital assets produced from a research project are archived on cost-effective storage appliances operated and managed by the University of Chicago’s Research Computing Center.
Research Reproducibility
By providing access to the underlying data sets, tools and documentation of a published scientific work, the scientific community can readily reproduce and validate published results.
Boosting Productivity
Reproduction of efforts in a research lab are minimized by having a platform to collect, organize and disseminate digital content, which serves to increase the productivity of a research lab and accelerate scientific discovery.
Open Science
All data, tools and documentation underpinning published research work is made freely accessible to the public online.
