iRODS / Yoda#
IRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) is a data management system that provides a way to store, manage, and retrieve data in a distributed environment. It is often used in research and academic settings to manage large datasets.
Yoda is a user-friendly, web-based platform that is built on top of iRODS.
The FAIR Data Station integrates with iRODS (and Yoda) to provide a seamless experience for managing your data. Below are the key functionalities related to iRODS:
