BioProjects#

The BioProjects Export functionality allows you to download the metadata from the ENA in a FAIR manner. The metadata can be downloaded and structured into the Excel template files that you are able to generate using the Metadata Configurator.

All you have to do is to fill in one or more BioProject IDs in the search box and click on the Generate button. The FAIR Data Station will then retrieve the metadata from the ENA and generate the Excel files for you.

You can generate the metadata files in the following formats:

  • Combined Excel file

  • Separate Excel files for each BioProject

  • RDF data file

  • Raw XML files

The combined Excel file will contain all the metadata from the selected BioProjects in one file. The separate Excel files will contain the metadata for each BioProject in a separate file. The RDF data file will contain the metadata in RDF format, which can be used for further processing and analysis. The raw XML files will contain the metadata in the format provided by ENA.
