Manage Data¶

Manage Data gives research programs a governed way to register, move, version, and resolve large biomedical datasets without turning every project into a storage engineering exercise.

The foundation is already concrete: Git-DRS keeps large binaries out of normal Git history by storing pointer files in repositories, Syfon exposes GA4GH DRS object services with presigned transfer and multipart lifecycle support, and the data client covers profile setup, data transfer, and collaborator access requests.

Who It Helps¶

• Stand up controlled research data programs.
• Give teams stable references to large objects instead of brittle bucket-path workflows.
• Make governed access and data movement part of the operating model.
• Keep data usable across projects, platforms, and organizations.

What Customers Get¶

• A product surface for governed data registration and resolution.
• Version-aware data operations that fit research workflows.
• Clearer boundaries between data stewardship, access control, and analyst use.
• A path into DRS-native data operations without selling the system as storage administration.

Core Capabilities¶

• DRS-native object registration and lookup for large research files.
• Presigned upload and download flows, including multipart transfer for very large objects.
• Git-style repositories that track lightweight pointers instead of copying large binaries into source history.
• Profile setup and collaborator request workflows that keep access management attached to the same operating model.

Why Buyers Care¶

Without this layer, teams usually fall back to bucket paths, ad hoc upload scripts, manual sharing, and local copies of large files. Manage Data gives the organization stable identifiers, governed transfer patterns, and repeatable file workflows that can scale across projects and institutions.
