iRODS / Yoda

IRODS (../Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) is a data management system that provides a way to store, manage, and retrieve data in a distributed environment. It is often used in research and academic settings to manage large datasets.

Yoda is a user-friendly, web-based platform that is built on top of iRODS.

The FAIR Data Station integrates with iRODS (../and Yoda) to provide a seamless experience for managing your data. Below are the key functionalities related to iRODS:

Log in via iRODS to access data that is available to your account. The header changes to iRODS Logout after logging in.

The browser provides access to data stored in iRODS or Yoda. In Yoda, there is also the option to reorganise your data using the metadata template.

The Disk Usage overview shows total storage consumption in iRODS or Yoda, providing insight into current usage.

The metadata organiser allows you to inspect and process the metadata within an investigation. This functionality is primarily intended for data stewards.

The archiving view allows you to request long-term storage for selected data. Large datasets can be identified via a search functionality. Archived data will be moved to a different storage location, which is more cost-effective for long-term storage.

Log out of the iRODS system. The header will change back to iRODS Login after logging out.
