TARDIS Framework v2 is based on simple and free HTTP and FTP services. This eliminates the need for complex and difficult to configure digital repository software, and ensures storage of data for any lab is an easy task to achieve.
Crystallography datasets are no longer archived, meaning one can access individual files without the need to download the whole set. An FTP download feature (optional) allows users to download entire Datasets and Experiments in a single click.
Persistent identifiers provide permanent links to online data, ideal for citation in journal publications. The Australian National Data Service (ANDS) has provided TARDIS with a persistent identifier service, automatically giving users a handle in which to reference their data on experiment registration (coming soon).
The storage of metadata follows the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) profile and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) data model, for easy communication and translation between different data management systems. As a result, TARDIS is well placed for integration with future systems.
A metadata extraction/data organisation application is currently being developed - making the process of registering data with TARDIS v2 simple. For those that would like to register their data now, don't hesitate to contact steve.androulakis@med.monash.edu.au for assistance.
