The electronic Data Archive Library (e!DAL) API is a JVM-based software framework for maintaining, publishing and sharing research data. e!DAL stands for electronic data archive library. Its main features are version and metadata management, information retrieval, registration of persistent identifiers and an embedded webserver for public data access .
eDAL[1] is open source and developed at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben, Germany. It applies a "bring the infrastructure to the data" (I2D) approach and fulfill the FAIR data principles—findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable.
Features[edit]
e!DAL provide a comprehensive set of functions to guarantee a long-term stable storage of research data.
- Data Submission & Review : An integrated data submission tool support users during the upload an description of his data before initializing the embedded review procedure
- Information Retrieval : An automatic index-engine provide a powerful and fast search functionality
- Comprehensive Report : A dynamic generated report provide several key performance indicators
- Data Linkage : e!DAL support JSON-LD, Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting and ORCID to link the stored data sets with global services
- Metadata & Version Tracking : eDAL track the complete version history and metadata of every stored data set
- Persistent Identifiers : e!DAL can assign different types of persistent identifiers like Digital Object Identifiers
Use Cases[edit]
- software library: The e!DAL API and reference implementation can be integrated as Java library or by using common build management tools like Apache Maven or Gradle into JVM based software.
- on-premise: e!DAL can be used locally as comprehensive storage and archiving back-end for research data
- client-server: e!DAL provide a server-client architecture which allows to set-up a centralized repository infrastructure allowing several clients to share and publish research datadata submission client
- GUI: The client component provide an intuitive graphical desktop application to upload, describe and publish research data by assigning a persistent identifiers
