FAIRDOM-SEEK – a web-based platform for scientific datasets

FAIRDOM-SEEK is an open source, web-based platform for the management of heterogeneous scientific research datasets, models or simulations, workflows, and research outcomes.

FAIRDOM-SEEK is developed by the FAIRDOM consortium consisting of partners from UK, Belgium, Norway, Netherlands, South Africa, and Germany. The Scientific Databases and Visualization (SDBV) group at HITS is a founding member of FAIRDOM and one of the main developers of FAIRDOM-SEEK.

FAIRDOM-SEEK can be downloaded, installed, and managed locally as a solution for data storage and sharing within groups and consortia. Example project instances of FAIRDOM-SEEK include: LiSyM (Liver Systems Medicine), IBISBA, Leipzig Health Atlas, and NFDI4Health Study Hub Covid-19.

A publicly available instance of FAIRDOM-SEEK is available as the FAIRDOMHub which is hosted at HITS.

HITS is using FAIRDOM-SEEK to manage publications from the HITS research groups and automatically extracts them for the HITS websites.
