Welcome
Data Curator App
The data ingress process uses the Data Curator App (DCA), which is a web-based metadata upload application. It allows you as a data contributor to easily annotate, validate and submit your metadata. You can use the app to generate an empty metadata template, or to update existing metadata.
Sage Bionetworks hosts DCA for its collaborators. DCA is an R Shiny app that serves as the frontend to the schematic Python package.
The dataset ingress process consists of the following steps:
Choose your cloud storage platform: The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 buckets as well as Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets.
Organize your data upload: You can use a flattened data layout (preferred) or a hierarchical file structure.
Upload your dataset to your selected cloud bucket: The DCC will create buckets in your preferred storage platform. Contributing sites can upload directly to these buckets.
Validate and submit your metadata: The DCC supports a web-based metadata upload via the Data Curator App (DCA) in Synapse.
Please click on the links above for more information about each step.
