 DescriptionThe EDMS is a web-based portal for the common storage, organization, and management of high-throughput biological data. EDMS has been developed as a part of internal research initiatives in Systems Biology and Data Intensive Computing at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The goal of the EDMS is to facilitate integrated data management across multiple programs at the Laboratory and secure data sharing with collaborators in the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) user community. The database also provides a mechanism by which PNNL scientists can publicly disseminate published data for access by the greater scientific community. This database captures raw data alongside essential experimental metadata, thereby allowing for query and merging of multifaceted data sets to provide insight into cellular function at a systems level that cannot otherwise be gained by indirect comparison. Registered users are able to define project teams of additional researchers who can view and supplement their experimental metadata, with restricted access controls for who can modify and delete data files. For open access to published data, public users are asked to register for a temporary password, but they will not be able to create Projects, store data, or view private (unpublished) data stored by registered users.[Taken from the Welcome text at https://biodemo.pnl.gov/biodemo/UserLoginPage.php?intended_path=index.php?

Research activities at PNNL and EMSL that feed data to the EDMS include:

  • Biomolecular Systems Initiative
  • Data-Intensive Computing Initiative
  • Environmental Biomarkers
  • Membrane Biology Grand Challenge
