Abstract

The Big Data revolution means that large amounts of data have not only to be stored, but also to be processed to unlock the potential of access to information and knowledge for scientific research. As a result, scientific communities require simple and convenient global access to data which is effective, secure and shareable. In this article we analyze how researchers use their data working in large scientific projects and show how their requirements may be satisfied with our solution called Onedata. Major technical mechanisms of metadata management and organization are described.
