About the Group

Public Description

The Data Management Environment (DME) offers open-ended storage and management of large scientific datasets. It was developed to eliminate the need to maintain redundant copies of large heterogenous data, while at the same time providing the ability to annotate, retrieve and share datasets for further research, analysis and collaboration.

The NCI Data Vault serves as the archive store for these datasets. It provides a scalable, virtualized, high-reliability storage transparent to the end user. Data is managed as Objects, which are organized into Collections (folders), and Collections can have one or more Sub-collections. A Collection can be identified by a custom collection type such as Project, Study, Sample, etc., the default being Folder.

DME provides services to archive data to the NCI Data Vault, as well as services to manage, transfer, access and share data across different disparate systems securely and efficiently. It provides the ability to store and associate user defined metadata with registered data at different levels of the data life cycle, as well as search capabilities to identify this data and attach a value factor to each dataset. A Division/Office/Center can define it’s own metadata structure and data hierarchy rules, and permission users on a need-to-know basis.
