| The NMDC Phase I (funded through the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research program) aims to deliver community-supported microbiome data science capabilities that include: |
Standards with expert curation
- Map existing ontologies and standard vocabularies to the rich contextual metadata used to describe sample collection and processing.
- Use ontology mapping tools and curation resources to enable automated annotation of standardized metadata to adhere to the FAIR principles.
|
FAIR Principles
- Findable: ensure all data registered within NMDC are human and machine readable
- Accessible: identify data sets that are available, including any authentication and authorization requirements
- Interoperable: provide provenance, metadata, and uniformly processed data, we are lowering the barriers to making data interoperable.
- Reusable: enable download of data, data products, and workflows for external reprocessing
|
Gold-standard pipelines
- Develop microbiome workflows for metagenome, metatranscriptome, metaproteome, and metabolomics data processing leveraging high performance compute (HPC) systems
- Generate and integrate interoperable and reusable microbiome data from pilot data providers
|
Data integration and access
- Iteratively develop a graphical web-based interface that streamlines search, data exploration, and discovery.
- Provide access to FAIR multidisciplinary data and standardized, reproducible data products for comparative analyses
- Provide programmatic interfaces that can be leveraged directly by all Collaborators, or link to existing platforms for advanced analyses and visualization.
