While the current data deluge creates a need for distributed data storage and replication, it is essential to enable data access through a single access interface.
This project aimed to integrate the raw data repositories for mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics data run by BILS (Sweden) and ProteomeXchange (via the PRIDE database, EMBL-EBI, UK), using the European infrastructure EUDAT, and served as an example to connect national data storage services and international repositories through ELIXIR. It also showed the potential of collaboration among research infrastructures and e-infrastructures to better manage the data deluge, and helped to evaluate the requirements of such federated systems.
Other Implementation Studies:
- Mining the Proteome (2014)
- Crowd-sourcing the annotation of public proteomics datasets to improve data reusability (2018)
- Extending open proteomics data analysis pipelines (2018-9)
The study is now complete, the end report is available here.
