The Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) Data Coordinating Center (DCC) develops code, tools, and workflows for integration, harmonization and FAIRification of IDG resources for access and interoperability in the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE).
Lead developer for the DRS API components is Praveen Kumar, PhD, of UNM.
The CFDE IDG DCC team is led by PIs Christophe Lambert, PhD, and Jeremy Yang, PhD, of UNM.
The Data Repository Service (DRS) API provides a generic interface to data repositories so data consumers, including workflow systems, can access data in a single, standardized way regardless of where it’s stored or how it’s managed. The primary functionality of DRS is to map a logical ID to a means for physically retrieving the data represented by the ID.
DRS APIs are designed for integration and interoperability with the Galaxy cloud workspace system, and being developed in cooperation with the CFDE Cloud Workspace Implementation Center (CWIC). Moreover, DRS and other industry and community standards are being employed for interoperability with CFDE centers and resources of the NIH Common Fund and beyond.
