Lets scientists easily share and study huge amounts of data.
Gen3 is an open-source data platform for building data commons. A data commons is a cloud-based data platform for managing, analyzing, and sharing data with a research community. Gen3 has been used to build over a dozen data commons that in aggregate contain over 28 PB of data and 64 million FAIR data objects. To set up a Gen3 data commons, you first define a data model. Gen3 then autogenerates 1) a data portal for searching and exploring data in the commons; 2) a data portal for submitting data to the commons; and 3) FAIR APIs for accessing the data programmatically. Gen3 is built over a small number of standards-based software services, which are designed to support current and future Gen3 components so that Gen3 can interoperate with other data platforms and data ecosystems.
