DesignSafe Data Depot

In the Data Depot users can browse, upload, download, share, curate and publish data. It hosts both private and published data associated with a research project and can be used as a working area for any of the users’ own data and work in progress, as well as for curating and publishing datasets. Scientific applications in Tools & Applications can access files in the Data Depot, enabling data analysis directly in the DesignSafe portal that minimizes the need to transfer data to your laptop. In turn, users can curate the data and publish it in the Data Depot Repository The Data Depot has the following services listed at the right hand side of the interface:

• My Data: Private directory for your data.
