In June 2011 President Obama launched the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), a multi-agency federal initiative designed to accelerate the discovery, manufacture, and deployment of advanced materials. The current materials R&D paradigm can take 20 years or more to move a new material from...

Data-driven Collaboration Environments: Integrating HUBZero and iRODS

24 Jun 2016 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Rajesh Kalyanam (presenter), Lan Zhao, Rob Campbell, Carol Song

As part of an effort to establish a community-based data sharing environment, we previously developed a HUBzero-based web component, iData. Using the open-source data management software, iRODS, iData provides hub users and tools with the ability to publish, manage, discover and consume data in a...

Databases at the Hub: Now you can create them yourself!

18 Sep 2013 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Ann Christine Catlin, Sudheera R. Fernando, Sumudinie Fernando, Ruchith Fernando, Ruwan J Egoda Gamage

There are more than thirty medical and scientific databases established across ten Hubs. All databases were created using our Hub-based “data technology” components, with interesting new features and capabilities added to the technology for each new project. We have customized these databases for...
