DataLab

DataLab is a research project at RENCI exploring distributed curation, sharing, and integration of research data. The project includes:

Open source data management server software (Sarcomere)

A conceptual data abstraction for relational data (Schema-N)

An open source graphical user interface for data management

A data management protocol (THUMP-DL)

Data exchange with interoperable schema sharing and mapping

Lightweight services for integrating user code into the system

High performance computing integration

A sample database of storm model data
Applications using Sarcomere data feeds:
- Coastal sensor data plots in Flex (Kevin Gamiel, 4/25/09)
- Java visualization by ZIP code (Ketan Mane, 5/4/09)
Retrieving and plotting data in R

Retrieving data in MATLAB:

n = str2num(urlread('http://datalab.renci.org/?in(sample::csdv)show(wind_speed,wind_dir,wind_gust)as(tab)'))

Retrieving data with wget:

wget 'http://datalab.renci.org/?in(sample::csd)' -q -O -
